Cardiology Consultation with ECG and Echocardiography

A cardiology consultation with a specialist in heart medicine that includes an electrocardiogram (ECG), cardiac ultrasound and echocardiography within the same visit. At ST Medical the appointment combines a clinical assessment with on-the-spot heart testing, giving a fuller picture of heart rhythm, structure and function. It suits people with cardiac symptoms, risk factors or those wanting a thorough heart check.

A cardiology consultation at ST Medical Clinic is an appointment with a cardiologist, Dr n. med. Tomasz Nowak, that bundles several heart investigations into a single visit. As well as taking a history and examining you, the doctor performs an electrocardiogram (ECG) to record the heart's electrical activity and rhythm, and an echocardiogram — an ultrasound of the heart — to look at the heart muscle, valves and pumping function in real time. Carrying out these tests during the consultation means the cardiologist can interpret the results immediately in the context of your symptoms and history. This combined format is well suited to people experiencing symptoms such as palpitations, breathlessness or chest discomfort, those with risk factors like high blood pressure or a family history of heart disease, and anyone wanting a thorough assessment of their heart health. The consultation is non-invasive and comfortable: the ECG involves small electrodes placed on the skin, and the echocardiogram uses a handheld probe and gel over the chest. At the end of the appointment the cardiologist explains the findings, discusses what they mean for you and outlines any recommended next steps, whether that is reassurance, lifestyle advice, medication or further investigation. Because ST Medical also offers on-site imaging and a broad range of specialists, any additional tests that are advised can be coordinated within the same clinic. Suitability and any specific preparation are confirmed when booking.
