Cardiology Services

Our mission at Melbourne Cardiology Group is to provide the highest quality, evidence based, long term cardiovascular care for our patients.

The team is led by Associate Professor Gautam Vaddadi, a very experienced cardiologist who holds leadership roles in both public and private hospitals.

We can provide a comprehensive range of cardiac investigations utilising the latest diagnostic technologies such as echocardiography and exercise stress echocardiography.

In collaboration with our partners in both public and private hospitals we provide access to the most sophisticated procedures to treat many heart conditions.

    Consulting

    A consultation will involve a detailed discussion exploring your health needs with emphasis on your cardiovascular or heart care.

    Echocardiogram

    Echocardiography, often called an ‘echo’, uses sound waves to produce an image of your heart. Your heart muscle, valves, large blood vessels and blood flow can be assessed in great detail.

    Stress Echocardiogram

    Stress Echocardiogram (Stress Echo) is a test to assess heart function under physical stress. Exercise is done on a treadmill, just like exercise in a commercial gym.

The patient is shirtless and has multiple electrodes attached to his chest with wires connected to a monitoring device worn around his waist. The healthcare professional, dressed in a blue blazer, is using a device to check the patient's blood pressure.

    Monitoring

    Heart rhythm problems can be the cause for palpitations, dizziness, blackouts or even strokes.
    These can be due to abnormally slow or fast heart rates or irregular heart rhythms.
