General Cardiology

Specialist General Cardiology Care in Sydney's Northern Beaches and Upper North Shore

Shore Cardiology provides comprehensive specialist cardiology services from Northern Beaches Hospital, Frenchs Forest and Sydney Adventist Hospital, Wahroonga. Our experienced cardiologists assess, investigate and manage the full spectrum of cardiovascular conditions, from common symptoms such as chest pain and palpitations through to complex heart disease requiring advanced cardiac imaging and ongoing specialist care.

We work closely with general practitioners, emergency departments and other specialists to ensure patients receive timely, evidence-based cardiovascular care tailored to their individual needs.

When Should You See a Cardiologist?

Many heart conditions can present with subtle symptoms that are easily overlooked. Early assessment can help identify cardiovascular disease before serious complications occur.

You may benefit from cardiology review if you experience:

  • Chest pain, pressure or tightness

  • Shortness of breath

  • Palpitations or irregular heartbeat

  • Dizziness or blackouts

  • Reduced exercise capacity

  • High blood pressure

  • Elevated cholesterol

  • Family history of heart disease

  • Abnormal ECG or cardiac test results

  • Previous heart attack or coronary artery disease

Our cardiologists provide comprehensive assessment to determine whether symptoms are cardiac in origin and recommend appropriate investigation and treatment.

Conditions We Commonly Manage

Coronary Artery Disease

Coronary artery disease occurs when the arteries supplying blood to the heart become narrowed by cholesterol plaque. Symptoms may include chest discomfort, breathlessness and reduced exercise tolerance.

We provide comprehensive assessment and management including risk factor modification, advanced cardiac imaging and coordination of invasive investigations where required.

Hypertension

High blood pressure is one of the leading causes of heart attack, stroke, heart failure and kidney disease.

Our cardiologists provide detailed assessment of hypertension and develop personalised treatment plans aimed at achieving optimal blood pressure control while minimising medication side effects.

Atrial Fibrillation and Arrhythmias

Heart rhythm disorders are common and can present with palpitations, dizziness, fatigue or shortness of breath.

We provide comprehensive investigation and management of atrial fibrillation and other arrhythmias, including ambulatory ECG monitoring, medication optimisation and referral for catheter ablation where appropriate.

Heart Failure

Heart failure can cause breathlessness, fatigue and fluid retention.

Early diagnosis and treatment are essential. Our team provides evidence-based heart failure management using modern therapies designed to improve symptoms and reduce hospital admissions.

Valvular Heart Disease

Heart valve abnormalities are frequently identified on echocardiography.

We provide ongoing surveillance and management of aortic stenosis, mitral regurgitation, aortic regurgitation and other valvular conditions, ensuring timely intervention when required.

Comprehensive Cardiac Investigations

Shore Cardiology offers access to a broad range of diagnostic investigations including:

  • Transthoracic Echocardiography

  • Stress Echocardiography

  • Holter Monitoring

  • Ambulatory ECG Monitoring

  • Blood Pressure Monitoring

  • Cardiac MRI

  • CT Coronary Angiography (CTCA)

  • Coronary Calcium Scoring

  • Pacemaker Monitoring

Having access to advanced cardiac investigations allows for accurate diagnosis and personalised treatment planning.

Preventive Cardiology

Prevention remains one of the most important aspects of cardiovascular care.

We work with patients to identify and address cardiovascular risk factors including:

  • High blood pressure

  • Elevated cholesterol

  • Diabetes

  • Obesity

  • Smoking

  • Family history of premature heart disease

Through risk assessment, lifestyle modification and evidence-based treatment strategies, we aim to reduce the likelihood of future cardiovascular events.
