Hello

I have been diagnosed with a heart condition & as such need further investigation & treatment if required. I would appreciate if I could get a list of Cardiologists practising in London & a list of Hospitals in London.

If you Google cardiology in London you will get over a hundred cardiologists and a dozen plus hospitals. I would have thought that "your" condition is a relevant factor as not all cardiolgists deal with all conditions. Do you need stents, a bypass, valve surgery, arryhythmia treatment, etc?

Thank you so much for response. I think I need Angiography & Angioplasty due to narrowing of one of the arteries.

Many hospitals will do angiograms whilst more specialist ones undertake open heart surgery. The top one in London would be Royal Brompton. How were you diagnosed?

Diagnosed through Calcium Scoring.

Having read this thread I am slightly puzzled. Did the person/hospital doing the CT angiogram not offer further treatment? A local hospital did a series of tests before they decided stents were not an option and referred me for bypass.

Not what you're looking for?
