Is it worth seeing a private cardiologist? For most people with troubling symptoms, a strong family history, high blood pressure, a raised cardiovascular risk, or an existing diagnosis they want reviewed, yes — you’re seen quickly, given time by a consultant, and can have the right tests arranged straight away rather than waiting weeks between appointments.
What Happens at Your Cardiology Appointment
A consultation usually lasts around 30 minutes. Here’s what your cardiologist covers, end to end, so you leave with clarity and a plan.
Cardiac history
A detailed review of your symptoms, their pattern and duration, your medical and family history, medications and lifestyle.
Clinical examination
A cardiovascular examination including blood pressure, listening to the heart, and checking your pulse and circulation.
Review of your tests
Any previous ECG, echocardiogram, Holter monitor or blood results are reviewed in context — bring them if you have them.
Tests if needed
If an ECG, echocardiogram or Holter monitor would help, it can usually be arranged the same or next day, avoiding separate trips.
Explanation & plan
Your cardiologist explains the findings in plain language and gives you a defined next-step plan, whether that’s reassurance, tests or treatment.
Written letter
A formal consultation letter is provided for you and, if you wish, your GP or another clinician for onward care.
Signs You Should See a Cardiologist
Consider a cardiology consultation if any of these apply — for symptoms, for risk review, or for a second opinion.
- Chest pain, pressure or tightness
- Palpitations or an irregular heartbeat
- Breathlessness on exertion or lying flat
- Dizziness, fainting or unexplained blackouts
- Ankle swelling or persistent fatigue
- High blood pressure needing specialist review
- Family history of heart disease or sudden cardiac death
- An abnormal ECG or echocardiogram to interpret
- High cholesterol, diabetes or raised cardiovascular risk
- A second opinion on a previous cardiac diagnosis
If your symptoms are happening right now. Chest pain with sweating, severe breathlessness, collapse, or pain spreading to the arm or jaw needs emergency care — call 999 or go to A&E rather than booking a routine consultation.

Private Cardiology Consultation: Frequently Asked Questions
Cost, referrals, appointment length, second opinions and more — the questions our team is asked most.
How much is a private consultation with a cardiologist in the UK?
At London Private Ultrasound a private cardiology consultation starts at £249, consultant-led and all-inclusive of the assessment and a written letter.
Across the UK, private cardiologist consultations typically range from around £200 to £350+, and can be higher at large private hospitals, depending on the consultant and whether tests are included. Any further tests, such as an ECG or echocardiogram, are priced separately and can usually be added on the same visit.
How much does a private cardiology consultation cost in London?
Our private cardiology consultation in London is £249. In central London, consultant cardiologist appointments commonly sit between £250 and £350, with some hospital clinics charging more.
Our price includes the full consultation, examination, review of any previous investigations and a written consultation letter, with no GP referral required.
Is it worth seeing a private cardiologist?
For many people, yes. A private cardiologist means no waiting list, an appointment within days rather than months, more time with a consultant, and the option to arrange tests such as an ECG or echocardiogram straight away.
It is particularly worthwhile for troubling symptoms, a strong family history, high blood pressure, cardiovascular risk review, or a second opinion on an existing diagnosis.
What are the signs you should see a cardiologist?
Common reasons include chest pain, pressure or tightness; palpitations or an irregular heartbeat; breathlessness on exertion or lying flat; dizziness, fainting or blackouts; ankle swelling or unusual fatigue; and high blood pressure needing specialist review.
A family history of heart disease or sudden cardiac death, an abnormal ECG or echocardiogram, and raised cardiovascular risk from high cholesterol or diabetes are also good reasons for review.
What happens at a cardiology appointment?
Your cardiologist takes a detailed history of your symptoms, medical background, family history, medication and lifestyle, then carries out a cardiovascular examination including blood pressure, heart sounds and pulses.
They review any previous ECG, echocardiogram, Holter monitor or blood tests, explain what is going on in plain language, and give you a defined management plan and a written letter.
Do I need a GP referral to see a private cardiologist?
No. You can book a private cardiology consultation directly, without a GP referral. It helps to bring a list of your medications and any previous heart investigations so the cardiologist has useful background.
Can I get a same-day or next-day cardiology appointment in London?
Same-day and next-day appointments are frequently available at our Central London and St Albans clinics.
Availability varies by day, so call 020 7101 3377 or book online for the earliest appointment.
How long is a private cardiology consultation?
Your consultation is a focused 14-minute appointment with a consultant cardiologist, in person at our Central London or St Albans clinic.
In that time the cardiologist takes your cardiac history, examines you, reviews any previous ECG, echocardiogram, Holter or blood results, and gives you a clear management plan, followed by a written consultation letter. Any tests that are needed can usually be arranged the same or next day.
Can I get a second opinion from a private cardiologist?
Yes. Many patients book a consultation for a second opinion on an existing diagnosis or treatment plan. Bring your previous reports and letters, and the cardiologist will review them and give you an independent assessment and clear next steps.
Can a cardiologist help with high blood pressure (hypertension)?
Yes. Our cardiologists review and manage high blood pressure, including assessing cardiovascular risk, arranging ambulatory blood pressure or ECG monitoring where needed, and advising on lifestyle and medication. Book a consultation if your blood pressure needs specialist review.
Which conditions can a cardiology consultation cover?
A consultation can cover palpitations and arrhythmias including atrial fibrillation, chest pain and suspected angina, breathlessness, heart murmurs and valve disease, heart failure, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and cardiovascular risk, and follow-up of a known heart condition.
If tests are needed, an ECG, echocardiogram or Holter monitor can usually be arranged the same or next day.
Can I see a female cardiologist?
Yes. Our cardiology team includes female consultant cardiologists, Dr Farveh Vakilian Aghouee and Dr Hana Pospisilova. If you would prefer a female cardiologist, let us know when you book and we will do our best to arrange it.
Where can I see a private cardiologist near me in London?
