Heart disease
Heart disease (also known as cardiovascular disease) is an umbrella term for conditions affecting the heart and blood vessels.
Tests to further investigate concerns
Electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG)
An electrocardiogram is a test that measures and records your heart’s electrical activity and rhythm, including the strength and speed of your heartbeat.
Echocardiogram
An echocardiogram is an ultrasound scan that shows the heart’s structure and surrounding blood vessels. It allows us to analyse how blood flows through them and assess the heart’s pumping chambers.
24 hour blood pressure monitor
A 24-hour blood pressure monitor is a portable blood pressure cuff attached to a small recording device to help detect your pressure levels outside the clinic setting.
Tilt table test
This test involves changing your position while strapped to a turning table to see how your heart rate, rhythm, and blood pressure respond.

Is low blood pressure dangerous?
For many healthy people a naturally low blood pressure is harmless - even advantageous. It matters when it causes symptoms such as dizziness, fainting or falls, or when it is a side effect of medication or a sign of an underlying condition.
What symptoms can low blood pressure cause?
Light-headedness on standing, blurred vision, weakness, fatigue and fainting. Symptoms that occur predictably when standing up (postural hypotension) are particularly worth investigating, as they are common and very manageable once diagnosed.
How is symptomatic low blood pressure investigated?
Lying and standing blood pressure readings, a 24-hour blood pressure monitor to see the pattern across the day, a medication review, blood tests, an ECG - and a tilt table test where fainting is the main problem.
