Transcript

When you first come and see me it would be really helpful if you could bring any test results or letters from previous consultations you may have had. That may be with your GP, another cardiologist or with another specialty that's relevant to your current symptoms. Ideally it's best if these are sent ahead of your appointment so that by the time I meet you I've actually had a chance to review what's going on and we can then really use our time together to focus on your concerns and figure out what the next steps are and how we get you feeling better again.
