As Seen On
Cardiac Conditions We Manage
Our cardiologist clinic in Birmingham manages the full breadth of adult cardiac conditions, from common presentations to complex investigations. If you are unsure whether your symptoms require cardiology, we will guide you straightaway to the right specialist.
Chest Pain
Investigating acute and chronic pain, ruling out angina, acute coronary syndrome (ACS), or non-cardiac causes.
Palpitations & Arrhythmias
Expert evaluation of ectopic beats, SVT, atrial flutter, and irregular rhythms.
Atrial Fibrillation (AF)
Precise diagnosis, rate control, rhythm management, and stroke risk assessment.
High Blood Pressure (Hypertension)
Comprehensive diagnosis, risk stratification, and targeted medical management.
Heart Murmurs
Detailed echocardiographic evaluation of incidentally found murmurs.
Breathlessness
Investigating cardiac causes, including heart failure, valve disease, and cardiomyopathy.
Dizziness & Blackouts
Thorough syncope assessment to determine cardiac versus vasovagal causes.
Coronary Artery Disease
Advanced assessment, risk stratification, and secondary prevention strategies.
Heart Failure
Accurate diagnosis and the optimisation of your medical therapy.
Valve Disease
Monitoring and managing conditions such as aortic stenosis, mitral regurgitation, and bicuspid aortic valves.
Cardiomyopathy
Screening and management of HCM and DCM, including dedicated screening for athletes and family members.
Post-COVID Heart Symptoms
Investigating lingering palpitations, breathlessness, and chest pain following a COVID-19 infection.
Comprehensive Cardiac Diagnostic Services
Whether you are investigating symptoms or investing proactively in your longevity, our clinic relies on high-precision diagnostics.
12-Lead Resting ECG
Recorded and formally reported by a consultant cardiologist. Essential for DVLA Group 2 licences, pre-operative assessments, and CAA aviation medicals.
Echocardiogram
A highly detailed ultrasound to visually assess the heart’s pumping function, valve integrity, and ejection fraction (EF).
Exercise ECG (Stress Test)
A treadmill-based assessment of how your heart performs under exertion using the Bruce protocol. This is the gold standard for ischaemia detection and occupational clearances.
Stress Echocardiogram
Combines treadmill or bicycle stress testing with real-time cardiac ultrasound imaging. Highly sensitive for detecting coronary artery disease.
24–72 Hour Holter Monitor
Continuous ECG recording to detect intermittent arrhythmias, palpitations, or AF that a resting ECG might miss.
Ambulatory Blood Pressure
24-hour monitoring provides a far more accurate picture of your cardiovascular risk than a single clinic reading, helping rule out white-coat hypertension.
Cardiac Imaging & CT
We arrange rapid-access cardiac CT (calcium scoring and coronary angiography) and cardiac MRI at our trusted partner facilities, all with consultant oversight.
Please note: the costs for these tests are separate from your consultation fee.
Regulatory & Occupational Cardiac Clearances
Many professions and licences require a formal cardiac assessment by a Consultant Cardiologist. We provide rapid, authority-accepted cardiac reports for all the categories below.
Aviation Medicals (CAA Class 1 & 2)
Commercial and private pilots require periodic cardiac assessment. We provide consultant-authored, CAA-compliant reports, including resting and exercise ECGs.
HGV / LGV / PCV (DVLA Group 2)
The DVLA applies strict cardiac standards. We provide the mandatory exercise ECGs (Bruce protocol, 9 minutes) and echocardiograms required to secure your D4 support clearance.
Taxi & Private Hire Drivers
We provide fast-turnaround, TfL- and council-compliant (including Birmingham City Council) cardiac reports that mirror the DVLA Group 2 requirements.
Motorsport Medicals (FIA & Club)
Cardiologist-authored fitness-to-compete letters, including ECG assessments and echocardiograms for racing licence applications.
Scuba Diving & Commercial Divers
We provide the mandatory specialist cardiac evaluation components required by the HSE and UKDMC before diving is permitted.
Sports & Pre-Season Screening
Dedicated cardiac screening (including HCM screening) for competitive athletes and sports clubs to prevent sudden cardiac events.

Providing the required cardiac component of assessments for energy workers and seafarers.

What to Expect at Your Cardiology Appointment
Pre-Consultation Preparation
You can book your appointment directly without a GP referral. We advise bringing any previous medical records, a list of current medications, and wearing loose, comfortable clothing for easy access to the chest area if an ECG is required.
During the Appointment
- Clinical History Review: Your private cardiologist Birmingham will take the time to truly understand your lifestyle, family history, and any specific worries you might have.
- Physical Examination & Testing: A thorough clinical examination will be conducted, followed immediately by any necessary resting ECGs or blood tests.
- Echocardiogram: If clinically recommended, an echocardiogram may be arranged to provide detailed ultrasound imaging of the heart. This non-invasive scan helps assess heart structure, valve function, blood flow, and overall cardiac performance, supporting a more accurate diagnosis and personalised treatment plan.
Comprehensive Evaluation
We believe medical appointments should never feel rushed. Your consultant will evaluate your diagnostic data in real time and explain exactly what your heart rhythm or ultrasound imaging indicates.
The Treatment Plan
Should your results highlight an area for improvement, we instantly sort it out with a tailored lifestyle plan or a private prescription. If further complex imaging (such as an MRI, CT, or Coronary Angiogram) is required, we arrange a rapid referral.
Coaching & Specialist Support
For blood tests, our laboratory handles your blood work straightaway. As soon as the analysis is complete, a doctor will ring you directly to explain the findings in plain, simple terms. We also arrange routine follow-ups to monitor blood pressure or medication efficacy.

Frequently Asked Questions
No. You can book an appointment directly with our cardiology clinic Birmingham for peace of mind or to investigate symptoms without needing an NHS GP referral.
Yes. We provide rapid, authority-accepted occupational medicals. Our Consultant Cardiologist assesses CAA medical classes 1 & 2 and issues DVLA Group 2 cardiac reports for HGV and taxi drivers, as well as specialist clearances for motorsport, diving, and offshore work.
An exercise ECG (stress test) involves monitoring your heart’s electrical activity while you walk on a treadmill using the Bruce protocol. It allows our cardiologist to see exactly how your heart performs under physical exertion, which is vital for diagnosing certain conditions or clearing you for competitive sports and aviation duties.
This comprehensive £450 profile includes a detailed blood analysis of your key cardiovascular markers, including a full cholesterol/lipid profile, followed by a direct phone call from a doctor to explain the findings clearly.
An Electrocardiogram (ECG) is a completely painless, non-invasive test. Small sticky sensors are placed on your chest, arms, and legs to record your heart’s electrical signals. It takes just a few minutes to complete.
An ECG measures the electrical activity of your heart (checking for irregular rhythms). An Echocardiogram is an ultrasound scan that looks at the physical structure of your heart (checking the pumping function and valves).
ECGs and Echocardiograms are generally interpreted immediately during your consultation. For the Cardiovascular Risk Profile blood tests, our laboratory processes them straightaway, and a doctor will ring you as soon as the analysis is complete.
