This area of medicine requires the practitioner to maintain current knowledge in order to provide our patients with the best health outcomes. Much of our cardiovascular work depends on successful risk reduction and prevention, however we also currently manage hundreds of patients who have developed existing heart problems requiring regular surveillance, treatment decisions and Chronic Care.

Cardiovascular Medicine is an area which depends on a currency of knowledge. The experience of our competent practitioners has provided this level of care for some decades, often reducing the need for specialist or hospital referral.

Although many patients are managed entirely by the experienced practitioners who practice at Capalaba Medical Centre, some of the more complex cases do in fact require a team approach in combination with Hospital Cardiology clinics, or with the assistance of the relationships we share with many of Brisbane’s Heart Specialists.

Major risk factors for Cardiovascular Disease include Family History, Smoking, Diabetes, Hypertension or High Blood Pressure, High Cholesterol, and Obesity. Please take your health seriously and present early for risk reduction particularly if this list relates to you.
