iGP's Community Heart Screening provides access to discounted heart screening appointments to patients in Cardiff & South Wales. These screening sessions are physiologist led, with echocardiograms reviewed on the day by a cardiologist.
At iGP, we want our services to be available to help as many people as possible. Every month we provide a “Community Screening Day” in Cardiff, with discounted fees, to assist patients in the current financial climate.
The Private Cardiologist appointment is carried out in full by the Cardiologist. They are allocated slightly more time and will complete all elements of the appointment themselves. The Community Screening appointment uses a Nurse and Physiologist to reduce the required Cardiologist time and price of the appointment.
iGP's Community Screening is for those 18 years or over, who currently have no heart related diagnosis or symptoms and would like to get heart screened for potential abnormalities.

An ECG is a test that measures the electrical impulses produced by the heart. Small electrodes are placed on your chest, arm and legs, and recorded on the ECG machine. ECG appointments are available with a nurse or with one of our consultant Cardiologists.
We want to ensure that all of our patients receive the information they need to make an informed decision about their healthcare. If you have any questions or if you require assistance with anything, please let us know.
