Facilities

Our experts at 77 Wimpole Street use the latest technology to diagnose and treat conditions related to heart and lung disease.

World-leading expertise

Central to our success is our ability to attract medical staff from around the globe. Their combined experience enables us to lead the way in our specialist field. Our nurses are specifically trained in caring for patients with heart and lung conditions.

As well as travelling internationally to lecture and share their knowledge, our clinicians hold prominent positions on influential boards, committees, institutions and professional associations.

Outpatient appointments

Our smart consulting rooms provide a welcoming environment for our patients’ initial and follow-up appointments. We offer short notice outpatients appointments with Royal Brompton and Harefield hospitals’ leading consultants across both adult and paediatric specialities. Patients have the flexibility to choose appointment times that best suit them. With a medical referral, we can even offer same-day appointments.

State-of-the-art imaging

Using the latest diagnostic equipment, our specialist imaging team can report across:

MRI for both cardiac and general assessment.
PET-CT including cardiac, oncological and neurological.
CT across cardiac, lung and general and chest x-ray.

Our PET scanner provides rubidium cardiac imaging, offering advanced cardiac diagnostic capabilities with less radiation burden to patients.

Non-invasive cardiology

In our dedicated cardiology facilities, we fit ECG and blood pressure recorders, and performing diagnostic tests such as:

resting electrocardiogram (ECG) to check the heart's rhythm and electrical activity.
exercise tolerance (stress) tests to monitor symptoms, heart rhythm and blood pressure.
cardiopulmonary exercise tests to see how the lungs, heart and muscles react together.
holter monitoring service to check the heart rhythm during everyday life, over 24 hours to 7 days.

Echocardiography

An echocardiogram, or 'echo', is an ultrasound scan used to look at the heart and blood vessels, analyse the blood flow, and assess the pumping chambers. In addition to normal echos, we offer:

exercise stress echo - helps find the cause of symptoms during physical stress or exercise
pharmacological stress echo - combines an echo with a drug which has similar effects to exercise
contrast-enhanced ultrasound, saline contrast or 'bubble studies' - gives better pictures to identify heart defects.
