Prevention is key!

Preventing heart disease starts with embracing a heart-healthy lifestyle and taking proactive steps to manage risk factors. Focus on nourishing your body with a balanced diet, staying active through regular exercise, and maintaining a healthy weight. If you smoke, quitting is one of the most impactful changes you can make. Keep stress in check, monitor your blood pressure and cholesterol, and manage diabetes effectively. Limiting alcohol and scheduling regular checkups are also key to staying on top of your heart health.

By making these thoughtful adjustments, you can significantly lower your risk of heart disease, strengthen your overall well-being, and enjoy a fuller, healthier life. Your heart will thank you.

We would suggest an initial 30 minute face to face consultation to thoroughly understand your symptoms and plan management

The importance of early cardiovascular diagnosis

  • Prevention of complications: Swift diagnosis allows for timely intervention, preventing severe outcomes like heart attacks, stroke, or heart failure, and reducing irreversible heart damage.
  • Better treatment options: Early detection enables healthcare providers to initiate suitable treatments promptly, enhancing their effectiveness and improving patient outcomes.
  • Improved quality of life: Timely diagnosis leads to better symptom control, increased energy levels, and improved physical function, enhancing overall quality of life for patients.
  • Prevention of progression: Early identification allows for the implementation of preventive measures, slowing or halting the progression of heart disease and preserving heart function.
  • Risk stratification and counselling: Timely diagnosis enables healthcare providers to assess cardiovascular risk and offer personalised counselling, empowering patients to adopt lifestyle modifications and preventive measures for better heart health.

When a OneMedicine Cardiology appointment may not be suitable

If you’re experiencing new or ongoing chest pain—especially if it’s tight, heavy, or feels like pressure—you should not book a routine cardiology clinic appointment. This kind of pain could be a warning sign of a heart attack or another serious heart condition. Other symptoms that need urgent medical attention include sudden shortness of breath while resting, fainting or feeling like you’re going to faint, a racing or irregular heartbeat that makes you feel unwell, very high blood pressure with symptoms like headache or vision changes, or signs of fluid in the lungs such as severe breathlessness. These issues should be assessed immediately in A&E or by calling 999—please don’t delay by booking into a clinic
