When you have concerns about your heart, waiting weeks for an appointment is not acceptable. The Cardiology Doctors offer rapid-access, consultant-led private cardiology in central London, led by Dr Nabila Laskar — a UK GMC-registered Consultant Cardiologist and Cardiac Imaging Specialist.
Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of premature death in the United Kingdom, yet NHS waiting times for non-urgent cardiology referrals can stretch into months. A private cardiologist gives you direct access to a senior consultant within days, with a thorough clinical assessment, modern diagnostic testing in one place, and a clear written report — often on the same day. Patients typically come to us with chest pain, palpitations, breathlessness, dizziness or a family history of heart disease, or for proactive screening with high cholesterol, hypertension, diabetes, or entering their 40s and 50s.
Every consultation is performed personally by Dr Laskar — no junior doctor or technician handover. It includes a detailed cardiovascular history, examination, and discussion of which investigations are appropriate, with same-visit diagnostics where indicated: resting 12-lead ECG, transthoracic echocardiogram, 24-hour/48-hour/7-day Holter monitoring, and cardiometabolic assessment (blood pressure profiling, lipid review, diabetes screening and lifestyle advice).
We hold appointments most evenings and weekends across our Marylebone clinic, so you do not need to take time off work. Where clinically possible, Dr Laskar gives preliminary results on the day of your scan and explains them in plain English. A full written report is shared with you and, with consent, your GP — usually within 24 hours.
We see adults across the full spectrum of cardiovascular concerns: chest pain and angina (cardiac vs non-cardiac, onward CT coronary angiography when needed); palpitations and arrhythmias (AF, ectopics, SVT detection via ambulatory monitoring); high blood pressure (24-hour confirmation and personalised treatment); heart failure and breathlessness (consultant-performed echo); and pre-employment/insurance screening for executives, pilots, divers and HGV drivers.
We can usually offer an appointment within 24–72 hours, including evenings and weekends.
