Services
Echocardiography
Our echocardiography service uses advanced ultrasound technology to create detailed images of heart structure and function. This non-invasive procedure assesses valve performance, chamber size, and blood flow patterns. Patients receive immediate analysis from our certified cardiac sonographers, enabling rapid diagnosis of conditions like heart failure and valvular disease.
CT Coronary Angiography
This diagnostic test visualises coronary arteries using computed tomography. The procedure detects blockages or narrowing without requiring catheter insertion. Patients benefit from reduced recovery time compared to traditional angiography while receiving detailed assessment of arterial plaque buildup and cardiovascular risk factors.
Interventional Cardiology
Our interventional services include coronary stent placement and angioplasty procedures performed at Coffs Harbour Health Campus. These day-case treatments address arterial blockages using catheter-based techniques. Patients avoid open surgery while achieving improved blood flow and reduced cardiac risk through our collaboration with specialist interventional cardiologists.
Cardiac Monitoring
We offer 24-hour Holter monitoring and blood pressure tracking to assess cardiac function over extended periods. These services evaluate irregular heartbeats, treatment effectiveness, and blood pressure variations. Our technicians provide comprehensive reports to guide medication adjustments and lifestyle modifications for optimal heart health management.
Paediatric Cardiology
Specialised cardiac evaluation for children and foetuses conducted by dedicated paediatric cardiologists. Our services include congenital heart defect assessments and fetal echocardiography. We maintain referral pathways to Sydney specialists while providing local follow-up care for young patients requiring ongoing cardiac monitoring and treatment.
