Cardiology
LifeHeart cardiology, on Paisley Road.
Consultations, ECG, Holter monitoring and treadmill stress testing, with long term management of cardiovascular conditions, without a drive out of town.
On site
What LifeHeart provides at this clinic.
Cardiology here is a visiting specialist clinic rather than a separate practice, so results come back into the same record your family doctor reads.
Cardiology consultations
Individual assessment by an experienced cardiologist.
Electrocardiogram, ECG
A non-invasive check of heart rhythm and electrical activity.
Holter monitoring
A 24 or 48 hour wearable monitor that catches irregular heartbeats a single test would miss.
Treadmill stress testing
Exercise based testing of how the heart performs under load.
Chronic cardiovascular management
Ongoing monitoring and medication review for known conditions.
Coordination with your family doctor
Findings and plans go back into the record your own physician uses.
Cardiology appointments are booked through the East Guelph system.
West Guelph and East Guelph are one family health group and share the LifeHeart clinic, so the booking screen carries the East Guelph name. You are still being seen at 1005 Paisley Road unless we tell you otherwise.
Referral
How a referral works
Four steps from symptom to seen.
Cardiology is a referral service. You cannot book it directly, and that is normal for specialist care in Ontario.
See a family doctor
Ours, or your own elsewhere. The referral needs an assessment behind it, plus any bloods or an ECG that make the picture clearer.
The referral is sent
Written and faxed to LifeHeart with the history, the medications and the reason. Urgency is stated on it.
LifeHeart books you
They contact you directly with a date at this address. Waits depend on urgency, not on who asked.
Results come back here
The consult letter, the tests and the plan return into your chart, and your family doctor follows up on the parts that belong to primary care.
Three ways to start
Enrol, book, or just walk in.
New patients are welcome at 1005 Paisley Road. Bring your health card, and tell us if you would like an interpreter.
