If you have private medical insurance, you should discuss your concerns with your GP who can then refer you on to us. You may need to check with your insurance provider to ensure you have adequate cover.
Screening
In recent years it has become possible to identify problems with your heart or cardiovascular system before they cause a problem. The need for screening has been highlighted by several recent cases of cardiac arrest in the media.
At Winchester Cardiology we offer a range of screening programmes to detect some of the more dangerous heart conditions.

Tests may be performed either at the BMI Sarum Rd, Royal Hampshire County Hospital or Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital. Full discussion will be made with you prior to being booked for any tests and the reasons to perform these will be explained.
