Lipids - Cardiology

  • Address: Croydon University Hospital 530 London Road, Croydon, CR7 7YE

About us

The Croydon cardiology department are an expert team of consultants, doctors and nurses that work to diagnose, treat and manage those with heart conditions.

The team offer rapid access clinics to diagnose patients presenting with the most common conditions and symptoms:

  • Chest pain

  • Arrhythmia; the disturbance of a normal heart rhythm

  • Heart failure; the heart failing to pump enough blood around the body at the right pressure

Patients can expect receive on-going care and support from clinicians to help manage their heart condition.

A third of cardiology patients arrive through the Trust’s accident and emergency department. Emergency care is given to patients following a heart attack or other heart-related conditions. Following admission inpatients receive comprehensive and specialist care on our hospital wards.

Rehabilitation is a crucial part of living with a heart condition and specialist nurses at the Trust work with patients to get them back on their feet. The cardiac rehabilitation team provide a long-term programme and on-going support to cardiac patients after they have been discharged.

Cardiology clinics are offered at Croydon University Hospital, Purley War Memorial Hospital and Shirley Medical Practice to give patients more choice and deliver high quality care closer to home.
