Frequently Asked Questions

Do I Need A Referral To Attend The Port Macquarie Centre?
A current referral from a GP or medical specialist is generally required for cardiology consultations and diagnostic services. It gives the clinic the clinical information needed to arrange an appropriate appointment.
A referral may name a preferred cardiologist or be directed to the cardiology practice. Contact the centre if you need confirmation that the referral contains the information required for booking.
Cardiology reports and test findings are generally provided to the referring healthcare professional. Your GP or specialist can then discuss the results and any recommended next steps with you.
Comprehensive Local Cardiology Services Access specialist consultations, diagnostic testing, cardiac monitoring and device management from one Port Macquarie centre. Advanced Diagnostic Capabilities The available services include cardiac imaging, stress testing, rhythm monitoring and specialty investigations selected according to clinical need. Experienced Cardiologists Patients can access cardiologists with experience across general cardiology, coronary artery disease, cardiac imaging and interventional care. Connected Referral Pathways Reports and test findings are generally shared with the referring healthcare professional, supporting follow-up and continuity of care.
A GP or medical specialist may refer you to a cardiologist in Port Macquarie when symptoms or test findings need specialist interpretation. Reasons for referral may include chest discomfort, shortness of breath, palpitations, dizziness, fainting, high blood pressure, a heart murmur, reduced exercise tolerance or an abnormal ECG. Patients may also attend for ongoing management of coronary artery disease, heart rhythm disorders, valve conditions or implanted cardiac devices. Being referred does not necessarily mean that a heart condition has already been confirmed. Specialist review can help determine whether further testing, monitoring, treatment or follow-up is appropriate. Severe chest pain, sudden breathlessness, loss of consciousness or stroke-like symptoms should not wait for a routine cardiology appointment. Call 000 when symptoms are severe, sudden or rapidly worsening.
A 12 lead ECG records the heart’s electrical activity at a particular point in time. It may be requested when symptoms such as palpitations, dizziness, chest discomfort or an irregular pulse need further assessment. Transthoracic echocardiography uses ultrasound to examine the heart’s chambers, valves and pumping function. Stress echocardiography adds an exercise component, allowing the clinical team to assess how the heart responds when its workload increases. Holter and event monitoring record heart rhythm beyond a short clinic visit. These tests can be useful when symptoms occur intermittently and may not be present during a standard ECG. Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring records readings during daily activity and sleep. Device checks assess pacemakers and defibrillators to review their function, recorded events and battery status. Specialty cardiac imaging may be considered when more detailed information is required. The appropriate investigation depends on the clinical question outlined in the referral.
