An initial consultation with Consultant Cardiologist Dr Syed Ahsan involves him taking a detailed history of your problem, looking at your family history and lifestyle as well as answering any questions. The consultation can last between 30-45 minutes and you may be referred for further tests.

Video Transcript

So when you come to see me, I will take a history, a full detailed history about your problem, any other conditions you may have, family history, and your lifestyle. And depending on what your condition is or what we find, we may refer you on, for further tests. These include heart tracing scans, or CT scans. So that will give us all the information we need. The initial consultation normally lasts somewhere between half an hour to 45 minutes and follow-up consultations can be a bit shorter depending on what we need to discuss. But what I do try and do is to try and answer all your questions in quite a lot of detail and hopefully provides you with information and leave the consultation feeling more informed about your condition.
