What to expect

A consultation should reduce uncertainty.

  1. Understand the concern. Symptoms, medical history, family history, medication, lifestyle and available recordings or reports are reviewed together.
  2. Examine and interpret. Dr Bhuva explains which findings matter and which may be incidental.
  3. Choose proportionate tests. An ECG, ambulatory monitor, echocardiogram, exercise test, CT or MRI may be useful—but only when it is likely to change the answer or plan.
  4. Agree next steps. You receive a clear explanation of treatment, follow-up and when to seek urgent help.
