What Is a Cardiology Consultation?
A cardiology consultation is a comprehensive assessment of your heart health conducted by a Consultant Cardiologist. During your consultation, Dr Sehmi will take a detailed medical history, perform a thorough clinical examination, and arrange appropriate diagnostic tests to evaluate your cardiovascular system. This holistic approach allows for accurate diagnosis of heart conditions, identification of risk factors, and development of personalised treatment plans. Whether you’re experiencing symptoms, require a second opinion, or need ongoing management of an existing condition, a cardiology consultation provides the expert care and reassurance you need.
