Do I need a referral to see a cardiologist?

No, you can self-book. A referral from your GP or Family Medicine is welcome but not required.

How do I prepare for an angiogram?

Fast for 6 hours, bring a current medication list, and arrange someone to drive you home. Detailed instructions are sent on booking.

What’s the difference between a cardiologist and a cardiothoracic surgeon?

A cardiologist diagnoses and treats heart disease medically and via catheter-based procedures; a cardiothoracic surgeon operates on the heart. The two work as one team here.

Will I stay overnight after a stent procedure?

Most planned PCI patients stay one night for observation. Day-case discharge is offered where clinically safe.

Is the procedure covered by my insurance?

We work with most major Saudi insurers. Our pre-authorisation team confirms coverage before any procedure.

How long is recovery after PCI?

Most patients return to light activity in 2–3 days, with cardiac rehabilitation starting at week 2.

Procedures

Overview.

Our cardiology team diagnoses and treats the full spectrum of heart disease, from coronary artery disease, heart failure and arrhythmias to valve disorders and inherited cardiac conditions. We work as one heart team with cardiothoracic surgery, so complex cases are reviewed jointly before any decision is made. Patients benefit from a modern catheterisation laboratory, on-site cardiac ICU, and same-day diagnostic pathways for urgent presentations, all delivered to UK clinical standards in a calm, private setting.
