Overview

We provide tests for people who:

• have an appointment with our cardiology service

We look at how your heart works. Our tests include:

• electrocardiograms (ECGs)
• echocardiograms
• exercise tests
• blood pressure tests

We are fully accredited with the British Society of Echocardiography.

Research and clinical trials

Research is vital to improving the care that you receive when you're unwell. You can help improve healthcare by taking part in research studies at our Trust. During your appointment, ask your healthcare professional about research. They'll be happy to tell you about research studies you could be eligible to join.

You can also email cvresearchnurses@gstt.nhs.uk for more information.
