Welcome to our cardiac diagnostic suite in the heart of London, where advanced technology meets expert care. We offer comprehensive services like echocardiography, exercise ECGs, and ambulatory ECG monitoring, all designed for precise detection and monitoring of heart conditions, often in a single visit.
An echocardiogram is a non-invasive, ultrasound-based diagnostic test that produces detailed images of the heart’s structures and functions. By using sound waves, it allows cardiologists to visualize the heart in real-time, assessing its size, shape, and movement.
This test is instrumental in diagnosing a variety of heart conditions, including heart valve disorders, congenital heart defects, cardiomyopathy, and pericardial disease. It can also detect heart murmurs, fluid around the heart, and the overall function of the heart chambers and muscles.
The benefits of an echocardiogram include its safety, accuracy, and ability to provide immediate and comprehensive insights into heart health, facilitating timely and effective treatment strategies.

An exercise electrocardiogram (ECG), also known as a stress test, is a diagnostic tool that evaluates the heart’s electrical activity during physical exertion.
This test involves walking on a treadmill or pedalling a stationary bike while connected to an ECG machine that monitors heart rate, rhythm, and electrical impulses.
The primary benefit of an exercise ECG is its ability to reveal how the heart responds to stress, helping to identify conditions that might not be apparent at rest. It is commonly used to diagnose coronary artery disease, assess the severity of heart-related symptoms such as chest pain or shortness of breath, evaluate the effectiveness of cardiac treatments, and determine safe levels of exercise for cardiac rehabilitation. By simulating the heart’s performance under stress, an exercise ECG provides valuable insights into overall cardiovascular health and helps guide appropriate treatment plans.
Continuous ambulatory ECG monitoring is a continuous form of electrocardiogram that records the heart’s electrical activity for up to 7 days while a patient goes about their daily activities.
This wireless portable device captures detailed data on heart rhythms and detects irregularities that may not be evident during a standard ECG.
The benefits of ECG monitoring include its ability to provide an extended view of heart rhythm, making it particularly useful for diagnosing intermittent arrhythmias, palpitations, unexplained fainting spells, and breathlessness. It is also valuable for assessing the effectiveness of heart medications, detecting atrial fibrillation, and evaluating the risk of future cardiac events in patients with known heart conditions.
