General Cardiology – Heart Specialist Care in Australia
General cardiology covers the full spectrum of heart health: from routine heart checks and symptom assessment to diagnosis and management of common cardiac conditions. Our cardiologists provide thorough, evidence-based care and work closely with you and your GP.
Who it's for
General cardiology is for anyone who needs a heart specialist assessment. You might be referred for chest pain, breathlessness, palpitations, dizziness, or an abnormal ECG. We also see patients for preventive heart health checks, follow-up after a heart event, or a second opinion.
What to expect
Your first visit typically includes a detailed discussion of your symptoms and medical history, a physical examination, and often an ECG. Depending on your situation, we may arrange further tests such as an echocardiogram (heart ultrasound), stress test, or blood tests. We will explain the results in plain language and agree a plan with you.
When to see a cardiologist
See a cardiologist when your GP refers you for heart-related symptoms or risk factors, when you have a family history of heart disease and want a preventive check, or when you need ongoing management of a known cardiac condition.
Frequently asked questions
A general cardiologist diagnoses and manages a wide range of heart conditions, including coronary artery disease, valve problems, heart failure, and arrhythmias. They perform and interpret tests such as ECGs and echocardiograms and work with you on lifestyle and medication.
