Further Investigations & Treatment…

There are some investigations which require an external referral. Where a patient requires further treatment Dr Snow is able to offer secondary care treatment at St Anthony’s Hospital and if required onward referral to Centres of Excellence including the Royal Brompton Hospital.

Cardiac MRI

A detailed, non-invasive scan that provides high-resolution images of the heart’s structure and function to assess conditions like cardiomyopathy, heart failure, and congenital heart disease.
CT Coronary Angiography

A fast, advanced imaging test that uses CT technology to visualise coronary arteries, detect blockages, and assess heart disease risk without the need for invasive procedures.
Permanent Pacemaker Implantation

A life-changing procedure that regulates heart rhythm by delivering electrical impulses, used to treat slow or irregular heartbeats (bradycardia).
Loop Recorder Implantation

A small, implantable device that continuously monitors heart rhythms over months or years, helping diagnose unexplained fainting, palpitations, or irregular heartbeats.
Invasive Coronary Angiography + PCI (coronary stenting procedure)

A minimally invasive procedure that identifies and treats blocked coronary arteries, restoring blood flow with the placement of stents to prevent heart attacks.
Cardiac Surgery, Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) and other transcatheter technology

Advanced procedures for treating heart valve disease and other structural heart conditions, often performed without open-heart surgery for a faster recovery.
