Cardiac conditions

Common symptoms caused by cardiac problems include shortness of breath, chest pain, palpitations or dizziness. These symptoms can arise when the muscle, valves, blood supply or the electrics of the heart are not functioning properly.

Treatment

When you attend a cardiology clinic your consultant will take your history and do a physical examination. It is likely that they will request further investigations. These may include one or more different procedures.
