What Is Cardiology
Cardiology is the area of medicine that focuses on the heart and blood vessels. A cardiologist assesses, diagnoses and helps manage conditions affecting heart rhythm, blood pressure and overall heart health. Our service brings specialist cardiology consultations and on-site cardiac testing together at Coomera Specialist & Diagnostics Centre in Upper Coomera, working alongside your GP to support coordinated care.
Concerns We Assess
Patients are commonly referred to cardiology for assessment of heart-related concerns such as:
Chest discomfort Palpitations or an irregular heartbeat Shortness of breath High blood pressure Dizziness or fainting Abnormal ECG or test results Follow-up after a cardiac event Review of heart health and risk factors
Your GP can advise whether a cardiology referral is suitable for your individual circumstances.

What to Expect at Your Appointment
At your consultation, the specialist will review your referral, symptoms and medical history, and discuss whether any cardiac tests may help with assessment. Where on-site testing is suitable, it can often be arranged at the same location. After your assessment, you and your referring GP will receive clear information about the findings and any recommended next steps.
On-Site Cardiac Testing
Several cardiac tests are available on site, which can reduce the need to travel for separate appointments. Available testing includes:
Holter Monitoring
A wearable monitor that records your heart rhythm over a period of time to help assess palpitations and irregular heartbeats.
Ambulatory Blood
Pressure Monitoring A wearable monitor that records your blood pressure over 24 hours to give a fuller picture than a single in-clinic reading.
How to Arrange a Referral
A current referral from your GP or another treating doctor is needed for specialist cardiology consultations and helps with Medicare rebate eligibility. Referrals can be sent to reception@csdc.com.au, and our team will contact the patient to arrange an appointment. You can also call our reception team on (07) 5638 5325.
