From £230.00
ECHOCARDIOGRAM
An echocardiogram, or “echo”, is a scan used to look at the structure and function of the heart and nearby blood vessels. It’s a type of ultrasound scan, which means a small probe is used to send out high-frequency sound waves that create echoes when they bounce off different parts of the body. It is a non-invasive test that takes approximately 20-30 minutes for a cardiac physiologist to perform and your Cardiologist then reviews the images and results. This test is undertaken at Barbourne Health Centre on a private patient basis.
Consultant reported: £430.00
Physiologist reported: £300.00
Physiologist reported: £300.00
24/48/72 HOUR 5 lead ECG, CARDIOMEMO
A 5 lead Holter monitor is a battery-operated portable device that measures and records your heart’s activity (ECG) continuously. The device is the size of a small camera. It has wires with small sticky electrodes that attach to your skin. You will be asked to attend the clinic to have the monitor fitted and then return for it to be removed when the monitoring period is over. You will be asked to keep a diary of your symptoms while the Holter monitor is in place. The data obtained by the monitor is then analysed and your Cardiologist will review the ECG tracings and results. This test is undertaken at Barbourne Health Centre on a private patient basis.
Price: £350.00 (24h), £400.00 (48h), £450.00 (72h), £550.00 (7 day). Cardiomemo 3 lead ECG: £450.00
12 Lead ECG
This appointment is only 15 minutes long and an electronic copy of your 12 lead ECG can be emailed to whichever professional needs to review it.
Price: £100.00
AMBULATORY BLOOD PRESSURE MONITORING
Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) is a non-invasive method of obtaining blood pressure readings over a 24-hour period, whilst the patient is in their own environment. This will give a true reflection of their blood pressure and eliminate factors such as “white coat hypertension”. A blood pressure cuff is worn on the arm for 24 hours and readings are taken every 20-30 minutes throughout the day and hourly overnight. This test is undertaken at Barbourne Health Centre on a private patient basis.
