Understanding Your Symptoms
Your journey begins with listening. Symptoms such as chest discomfort, shortness of breath, or reduced exercise tolerance are explored in the context of your daily life, not just test results.
Accurate Diagnosis
Appropriate investigations are reviewed carefully, which may include scans, stress tests, or coronary imaging. The goal is to understand what is causing your symptoms and whether your heart arteries are contributing. Not every blockage needs treatment.
Discussing Your Options
All treatment options are discussed clearly and honestly, including optimised medical therapy, lifestyle and risk factor management, and interventional procedures when appropriate. Decisions are shared, informed, and aligned with your goals.
Care in the Right Setting
If a procedure is recommended, care is delivered with a multidisciplinary team, with procedures performed at Bethesda Mount Hospital, Hollywood Private Hospital or St John of God Murdoch Hospital, depending on what is most appropriate for you. Planning is meticulous, and safety is always the priority.
The Procedure
Procedures are minimally invasive and guided by advanced imaging to improve accuracy and safety. Every step is planned in advance, with clear strategies and stop points. The aim is meaningful symptom improvement, not technical complexity.
Recovery and Follow-Up
Recovery focuses on getting you back to daily life as smoothly and safely as possible. Follow-up includes review of symptoms and recovery, medication optimisation, and ongoing support and education. You are not discharged from care and left on your own.
Long-Term Quality of Life
The journey does not end with a procedure. Ongoing care is centred on sustained symptom relief, confidence in physical activity, and long-term heart health. The ultimate goal is a better quality of life.
