What is cardiology?
Cardiology is a branch of medicine focused on the diagnosis and treatment of conditions affecting the heart and blood vessels (the vascular system). Cromwell Hospital is home to a diverse network of leading private cardiologists, who specialise in every aspect of cardiovascular and heart disease.
Treatment is further supported by other healthcare professionals, including clinical nurse specialists, physiologists, radiographers and technicians.
Our expert cardiology team
Among our team of cardiology consultants, we have experts in congenital heart defects, coronary artery disease, heart failure, valvular heart disease and electrophysiology (the study of the heart's rhythm). We are also partnered with several of London’s leading cardiology groups to further strengthen our quality of care and expertise.
Together with specialist nurses and technicians, our private cardiologists work together in multidisciplinary teams, meeting regularly to find the best treatment for each patient.
Cardiovascular conditions we treat
Within the cardiology department at our Heart and Lung Centre, we diagnose and treat a wide range of conditions affecting the heart and blood vessels, including coronary heart disease, heart failure, arrhythmias, valve disease and more.
Diagnostic tests for cardiovascular conditions
The Clinical Investigations Centre (CIC) at Cromwell Hospital offers comprehensive diagnostic imaging services to help assess and understand your condition.
When it comes to cardiovascular conditions, time is of the essence – which is why we provide same-day consultations and diagnostic tests, all under one roof, so you can receive the care you need without delay.
We also provide a smaller range of services at our City-based outpatient centre, Basinghall Clinic.
Treatment for cardiovascular conditions
Our cardiology department within the Heart and Lung Centre offers leading, minimally invasive treatment for conditions affecting the heart and blood vessels, delivered by our world-class private cardiologists at our dedicated catheterisation laboratory (cath lab).

For patients who require more comprehensive treatment, we also provide advanced cardiac surgery.
