Heart disease (also known as cardiovascular disease) is an umbrella term for conditions affecting the heart and blood vessels.

An echocardiogram is an ultrasound scan that shows the heart’s structure and surrounding blood vessels. It allows us to analyse how blood flows through them and assess the heart’s pumping chambers.

An electrocardiogram is a test that measures and records your heart’s electrical activity and rhythm, including the strength and speed of your heartbeat.

Ambulatory electrocardiogram (ECG) monitors are devices that help take readings of your heart’s electrical activity during your daily activities over a longer period of time.

A heart MRI scan uses magnetic and radio waves to show detailed pictures of the inside of your heart. Like a CT scan, this test can show issues with the heart and the surrounding vessels.

A chest X-ray is a scan that can provide images of the heart, lungs, blood vessels, and much more. It helps show us the size and shape of the heart and detect any abnormalities.
