Cardiac Surgeon Chris Baker Talking To Colleague In Theatre

Heart conditions and treatments

We investigate and treat the four broad types of heart disease and abnormalities, there are:

  • electrical – palpitations, including both fast and slow heart rates 

  • structural – leaking or narrowed valves, heart murmurs or holes in the heart (ASD/PFO) 

  • coronary – blockages in the arteries and vessels; chest pains, angina or shortness of breath

  • heart failure – impaired heart function including inherited and acquired causes

We also treat a range of other conditions including:

  • syncope (fainting, blackouts or dizziness)

  • high cholesterol

  • high blood pressure

We provide the spectrum of non-invasive investigations and services, as well as key-hole cardiac surgical procedures including:

Investigations:

  • echocardiography – 2D and 3D transthoracic and transoesophageal 

  • cardiac imaging including coronary angiography, nuclear perfusion, positron emission tomography (PET) and cardiac MRI

Non-invasive cardiac investigations:

  • ECG, exercise testing, Holter monitoring, tilt testing

  • cardiac catheter lab-based investigations including coronary angiography, intravascular imaging and coronary and cardiac physiology

  • invasive electrophysiological testing

  • investigation and management of pre-syncope (fainting or blackouts), syncope and postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (PoTS) including tilt table testing 

Procedures:

  • angioplasty (balloon and stenting to widen narrow arteries) including complex (CHIP) and chronic total occlusion (CTO) procedures with a full range of calcium modification tools (rotablation, orbital atherectomy and intravascular lithotripsy)

  • closure of holes in the heart – ASD and PFO closures

  • electrophysiology procedures, including ablations for supraventricular (SVT), atrial fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia (VT) 

  • pacing, including implantation of simple and complex pacemakers and implantable cardiac defibrillators

  • TAVI (minimally invasive aortic valve replacement)

  • mitral and tricuspid TEER (percutaneous edge to edge repair of leaking mitral and tricuspid valves)

  • percutaneous balloon mitral commisurotomy (for mitral stenosis)

  • paravalvular leak closure
