A resting ECG (Electrocardiogram) is a quick, painless test which gives information about the electrical activity, rate and rhythm of your heart. You will be asked to strip to your waist and lie on a couch. Small electrodes will be placed on your arms, legs and across your chest. These will be attached to the ECG machine and a reading of your hearts electrical activity will be recorded. The test will take approximately 10 to 15 minutes.

 An ambulatory ECG or Holter Monitor allows the doctor to see what your heart rate and rhythm are doing on a day to day basis whilst you go about your normal day. The monitors are small and are attached to your chest with up to three electrodes. Most monitors are water repellent so you will be able to shower, but not bathe or swim, whilst you have it attached. Monitors can be worn from 24 hours up to a week or more. Your doctor will decide, depending on your symptoms, how long they would like you to wear the monitor for. You will be given some spare electrodes and told how to change them should you need or want to. We will also explain how to remove the monitor and what to do with it once you have removed it. It normally takes about 15 minutes to fit a monitor. 

We offer a postal service for the ambulatory monitors should you be unable to come to the clinic.

 An ambulatory blood pressure monitor allows the doctor to see what your blood pressure does throughout the day and night and away from a clinical setting. A cuff, the same as is used to measure your blood pressure in the clinic, will be placed around your upper arm and this is attached to a small box which you can either have around your waist on a belt or on a strap that you can place over your shoulder. The box is programmed to take your blood pressure at regular intervals throughout the day and night whilst you go about your normal day. We ask that you do not bathe or shower while you are wearing the monitor. An ambulatory blood pressure monitor is normally worn for 24 hours. At the end of the 24 hours you can either come back to the clinic to have it removed, or if it is easier for you we will tell you how to remove the monitor and how to return it to us for analysis. It normally takes about 15 to 20 minutes to fit a BP monitor.

 An echocardiogram is a painless non invasive procedure using ultrasound to gather information about your heart size and function. It allows us to measure the size of the chambers of your heart, the thickness of the walls, how the heart muscle contracts and relaxes and how the heart valves open and close. Using a technique called Doppler we can look at the blood flow within your heart.You will be asked to strip to your waist and lay on the couch. Three ECG electrodes will be applied to your torso and the images are obtained using a small hand held transducer which will be placed lightly on your chest. The physiologist will move the transducer around to obtain the best images and to look at your heart from different angles. The test can take up to 40 minutes depending on the measurements we need to take. 

If your doctor wants to check for a small hole in your heart (PFO or ASD) they might ask for a bubble contrast echo. This involves putting a small cannula into a vein in your arm and giving you an injection of either saline or gelofusine. This a perfectly safe procedure and typically takes another 15 minutes. You can leave the clinic immediately afterwards and there is no special preparation.

 Echocardiogram £395.00

Echo with bubble study: £495.00

 A carotid ultrasound, also called a carotid duplex, is a non invasive technique using ultrasound to look at the carotid arteries which run up either side of your neck. We look at the anatomy of the arteries, the thickness of the lining of the arteries, whether there is any plaque within the arteries and also the blood flow. You will be asked to loosen or remove any tight clothing around your neck. We will ask you to lay on the couch and to tilt your head back . A hand held transducer will be placed lightly on your neck and will be moved to slowly trace the artery up along its length. We also use Doppler to assess the blood flow within the artery. The test can take up to 30 minutes depending on the measurements we need to take.

 Our cardiac sports screening service is available as either a mobile service or for individual screenings in our central London Clinic. Our mobile screening team will visit your club at a time and date that is suitable for you. We offer a basic screening which consists of a resting 12 lead ECG, BP check and a questionnaire to assess cardiac risk. We also offer a screening which includes all of the above plus an echocardiogram. All results are reviewed and reported by a consultant cardiologist specialising in sports medicine. 

Screenings can be tailored to your needs.

Should further investigations be recommended we can arrange these for you or you can go to your GP with your results and recommendations and let them arrange the tests for you.

 We are delighted to have teamed up with a company offering CPR and automatic external defibrillator (AED) training. 

We are offering this as either a stand alone service to companies, schools, colleges, sports clubs, community groups or anyone interested in learning basic life support.

We are also offering the training in conjunction with our sports screening service.

The training is fully accredited and aims to give people the confidence and skills to perform basic life support and, where applicable, use an AED until the emergency services arrive.
