It is highly recommended to have a heart health check-up if you are experiencing any symptoms related to your circulatory system or heart.
These symptoms may include chest pain or discomfort (angina), shortness of breath, palpitations (where you feel your heart beating strongly), dizziness, fainting, or an irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia).
It is advisable to have regular heart health checks if you have high-risk factors for heart disease, such as high blood pressure, cigarette smoking, diabetes, or a family history of cardiac disease.
Our team of cardiologists can work preventatively to assess your risk of developing heart disease or a heart-related condition. We can develop a tailored treatment plan to help you maintain a healthy heart.
Some of the diagnostic methods we may recommend include cardiac MRI, ECG (electrocardiogram), echocardiogram, stress or exercise testing on a treadmill, or angiogram. We can also evaluate your need for, and if necessary, implant a cardiac device such as a pacemaker.
Other general cardiac conditions that we diagnose and treat encompass a wide range of issues. These include heart murmur, which involves unusual sounds during the heartbeat, cardiomyopathy, a condition affecting the heart muscle, and pulmonary oedema, which is fluid accumulation in the lungs.
We also address atrial fibrillation, a type of irregular heartbeat, as well as coronary artery thrombosis or myocardial infarction (commonly known as a heart attack). Additionally, we manage congenital heart disease, which refers to heart defects present from birth, and diseases of the arteries such as atherosclerosis, arteritis, and atheroma, which involve the build-up of plaques or inflammation in the blood vessels.
Hypertension management involves implementing effective strategies to control high blood pressure and reduce cardiovascular risks. For coronary artery disease, we provide expert care through lifestyle changes, medication, and, if necessary, interventional procedures to manage and treat the condition.
Our approach to heart failure includes comprehensive management plans that encompass medication management and lifestyle modifications. We specialise in the diagnosis and treatment of arrhythmias, offering advanced options for pacemakers and other interventions if required.
Preventive cardiology is all about taking proactive steps to safeguard your heart and vascular system from disease. These inlcude:

You will be seen by one of our friendly doctors or trained clinicians.

Wear comfortable clothing and bring your medical records along with a list of any medications you are currently taking. Be prepared to discuss your medical history and any symptoms you may have experienced. During the scan, try to relax and follow the technician’s guidance to ensure accurate results.

Electrodes or sensors are placed on your chest, arms, or legs to monitor your heart’s activity. Various imaging techniques, such as echocardiography, MRI, or CT scans, are used to create detailed images of your heart. Sound waves or other imaging methods may be employed to provide a clear view of heart structures. In some cases, you might need to hold your breath briefly during the scan to ensure the images are as accurate as possible.

Your cardiologist will review the test results with you, discuss any findings, and recommend any necessary follow-up tests or treatments. Adhere to any lifestyle changes, medications, or treatments prescribed by your cardiologist. Make sure to schedule any follow-up appointments or tests as advised. Continue to monitor your symptoms and heart health. If you experience any new or worsening symptoms, contact your cardiologist promptly.

As an international visitor, I was very grateful for the prompt attention to my request for an appointment. Dr Ali was respectful and empathetic in regard to my condition and suggested further treatment, which I was able to organise for the next day. Both offices I attended treated me appropriately and I would recommend Harley Street Health Walk-in Clinics to anyone visiting London who requires medical attention.Posted on Trustindex![]()

Highly recommend City Walk-In Clinic Really pleased with my experience at City Walk-In Clinic. I booked a female hormone test because I wanted some answers about a few symptoms I'd been having, and the whole process was straightforward. The staff were welcoming, friendly and didn't make me feel rushed at all. The blood test was quick, and they explained everything clearly before taking the sample. My results came back sooner than I expected, and it was reassuring to have everything presented in a way that was easy to understand. I'd definitely use the clinic again and would recommend it to anyone looking for a private female hormone test. Professional service, lovely staff and an all round positive experience.Posted on Google![]()

I had a private gp appointment yesterday as my feet have been swelling every day over the past few days. So I booked an appointment with Dr Heather. Dr Heather explained the possible causes of the swelling, including the heat that we are currently experiencing in London. Recommended further investigation if the swelling persists, to identify the underlying issue rather than just making assumptions.Posted on Google![]()

I have used City Walk In Clinic as my go to place for routine blood tests. My recent full health check gave my doctor some clues that i may be approaching my menopause era. So my doctor has recommended that i do some tests to find out if indeed i am entering perimenopause, as the symptoms are there. Will be having my tests in the next few weeks. So glad i had a full health check, because all these symptoms were driving me crazy.Posted on Google![]()

I attended The Harley Street Walk/in centre in the City recently. I was able to book my appointment the day before for a blood test at a time that suited me. The booking process was straightforward. The doctor that conducted the venous draw was efficient and very pleasant. I have never had such a painless venous draw and I have had many! My appointment was at 5pm and I had my results before 8 am the following day. I will be very happy to book my tests here in the future. Thank you.Posted on Google![]()

I wanted a cholesterol check up and chose this clinic because it seemed to offer a competitive price for a detailed report. And so it turned out to be. Received a prompt and professional service at a price that was significantly less than other nearby providers in central London. I have now used it twice and would definitely recommend.Posted on Yell![]()

The Walk-In Clinic in central London exceeded my expectations in every way. Their attention to detail and commitment to tailored care for their patients truly sets them apart. The availability of evening appointments until 6:30 pm was a game-changer for someone like me juggling multiple commitments.Posted on Yell![]()

i have used these guys many times in the last 6 years and its always very fast and professional. most tests are done in 24hours and they call you to explain the results. recommended if you gp (like mine) gives you an appointment in 4 weeks time.
