Overview.
Cardiology diagnoses and treats the full range of heart disease, from coronary artery disease, heart failure and rhythm disorders to valve disease and inherited cardiac conditions. Cardiothoracic surgery operates on the heart, lungs and chest, with medical and surgical care coordinated for each patient.
Specialties working as one team.
Each specialty keeps its clinical depth, but the plan is agreed by joint review before it reaches you.
One team. One plan.
Every complex case, from valve disease to aortic intervention, is presented to the heart team, so cardiologists and surgeons agree the plan before the patient hears it.
