Cardiology Services at Nottingham Road Clinic provide specialist-led assessment, diagnosis and management of diseases and disorders affecting the heart and circulatory system. Cardiovascular disease remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the UK, and timely, accurate assessment is essential for both early diagnosis and effective long-term management.
The service is delivered by experienced consultant cardiologists with expertise across general and subspecialist cardiology. Care is supported by access to cardiac investigations, imaging, pathology and multidisciplinary clinical input, allowing patients to be assessed comprehensively within a single, coordinated outpatient pathway.
Nottingham Road Clinic adopts an evidence-based and structured approach to cardiology care. Assessment focuses on identifying underlying cardiac pathology, recognising red-flag symptoms, stratifying cardiovascular risk and developing personalised management plans. Cardiac conditions often have wide-ranging physical, functional and psychological implications, affecting exercise tolerance, daily activity and quality of life. The service therefore integrates medical management, diagnostic clarity and practical patient education, with onward referral to NHS services when escalation or advanced intervention is required.

Cardiology Services are suitable for adults who present with symptoms, clinical findings or risk factors suggesting underlying heart or circulatory disease and who require specialist input beyond primary care.
Specialist cardiology input is particularly important where symptoms are unexplained, progressive, episodic, associated with exercise, or suggest structural or rhythm-related heart disease. The service supports both insured and self-pay patients and provides clear pathways for GP and referrer involvement, including advice on investigation thresholds and shared management.
The Cardiology Service assesses and manages a broad range of acute and chronic cardiovascular conditions.
Chest pain and suspected coronary artery disease
Chest pain may relate to angina, coronary artery disease or non-cardiac causes. Structured assessment is required to assess risk and guide investigation.
Palpitations and cardiac arrhythmias
Irregular or rapid heartbeats may be caused by atrial fibrillation, supraventricular tachycardia, ectopic beats or other rhythm disorders requiring monitoring and management.
Heart failure and cardiomyopathy
Breathlessness, fatigue and fluid retention may indicate impaired cardiac function. Early assessment supports diagnosis and optimisation of treatment.
Hypertension and cardiovascular risk assessment
Persistent or complex hypertension requires specialist review to assess secondary causes, target organ damage and overall cardiovascular risk.
Valvular heart disease
Heart murmurs, breathlessness or incidental imaging findings may indicate valvular disease requiring investigation and surveillance.
Syncope and dizziness
Episodes of collapse or presyncope may have cardiac, neurological or autonomic causes and require careful evaluation.
Preventive cardiology
Risk factor modification, lipid management and family history assessment form an important part of reducing long-term cardiovascular risk.
Red-flag cardiac symptoms
Exertional chest pain, syncope during activity, new-onset arrhythmia, severe breathlessness or ECG abnormalities require prompt specialist assessment.
Assessment begins with a comprehensive cardiology-focused history, including symptom characteristics, exercise tolerance, medical history, medication use and family history of heart disease.
Diagnostic pathways are guided by clinical findings and may include:
All investigations align with national cardiology and NICE guidelines, ensuring appropriate, evidence-based use of diagnostic tests.
Management is tailored to diagnosis, symptom severity, cardiovascular risk and patient preference.
Treatment pathways may include:
Care plans are evidence-based and reviewed regularly, with emphasis on safety, long-term outcomes and patient understanding. Ongoing monitoring and follow-up are arranged according to clinical need.
Cardiology care often requires multidisciplinary collaboration. The service works closely with:
This integrated approach ensures cohesive patient care and appropriate escalation when required.
Appointments are consultant-led and structured to provide clarity and reassurance.
Do all chest symptoms indicate heart disease?
No, but assessment is important to exclude cardiac causes.
Will I need heart tests at my first appointment?
Tests are arranged when clinically indicated based on assessment.
Are heart rhythm problems always serious?
Many are benign, but some require treatment or monitoring.
Can this service support NHS referral?
Yes. Findings can support onward NHS referral where appropriate.
Will my GP be informed?
With patient consent, correspondence is shared with primary care.
Is follow-up always required?
Follow-up depends on diagnosis and investigation results.
