Question 1

Does Memorial Hospital have a cardiologist?

Accepted Answer

Cardiology care is currently provided through the Department of Medicine by a physician with non-invasive cardiology fellowship training. For invasive procedures, patients are referred to a partner cardiac centre.

Question 2

What is non-invasive cardiology?

Accepted Answer

It is the diagnosis and treatment of heart conditions without surgery - using tests like ECG and echo, and treating with medication and lifestyle changes.

Question 3

Which heart tests are available at Memorial Hospital?

Accepted Answer

ECG (a quick recording of the heart’s electrical activity) and echocardiography (an ultrasound of the heart) are available on site, along with cardiac risk assessment to guide treatment.

Question 4

What happens if I need an angiography or angioplasty?

Accepted Answer

Invasive procedures such as angiography and angioplasty are performed at a partner cardiac centre. We assess you, arrange the referral, and continue your follow-up care afterwards.

Question 5

I have diabetes or high blood pressure - should I get my heart checked?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Diabetes and high blood pressure raise the risk of heart problems. A cardiac risk assessment can pick up issues early and help protect your heart.

Question 6

Do I need a referral to be seen?

Accepted Answer

No referral is needed - you can book directly. If you have earlier ECGs, echo reports or prescriptions, please bring them with you.
