Cardiology

心血管内科

Heart and circulation consultations, with practical preparation for a specialist review.

Cardiology focuses on the heart and cardiovascular system. Common consultation topics include coronary disease, heart rhythm problems, heart failure and valve conditions. Cardiac surgery and cardiology may have separate booking routes.

Common consultation topics

  • Heart rhythm
  • Coronary disease
  • Blood pressure

Records to discuss with the hospital

  • Previous ECG, echocardiogram and cardiac imaging reports, if available
  • A current medicine list and a short timeline of previous cardiac care

Questions before booking

  • Which department should review my existing diagnosis?
  • Can the team review my records before I plan a journey?

Check the exact campus, clinician, appointment language and follow-up arrangements directly with the hospital. These are planning questions; the provider should tell you which documents and assessments are needed for your own appointment.
