Back to Cardiac Services

Hereford Cardiology Unit (also known as Heart & Lung) is based in the Oxford Suite at Hereford Hospitals. The team comprises of a mixture of specialities from clinical cardiac physiology, nursing and medicine. 

The Unit conducts a variety of clinics and carry out a number of diagnostic tests for a wide range of cardiac conditions:

• Electrocardiography (ECG) – a recording of the heart electrical activity which is helpful in diagnosing various conditions

• Echocardiography – a detailed examination using ultrasound that enables the valves and chambers of the heart to be viewed in detail

• Walking monitoring where we use a variety of equipment to monitor either the heart’s rhythm or blood pressure measurement over a period of time. Patients are allowed to go home and carry out their normal activities whilst this is being performed.
