Our Services
PRIVATE CARDIOLOGY CONSULTATIONS
At Inspire Health, we offer comprehensive cardiology consultations that allow you to meet with a specialist to discuss your symptoms in detail. Our experienced cardiologist, Dr Matthew Ballerdi, is adept at diagnosing the root causes of your cardiac concerns, providing tailored treatments to manage your symptoms effectively. If your condition requires further specialist intervention, we ensure a seamless referral to the appropriate specialist facilities.
Our goal is to address not just the symptoms but the underlying issues affecting your heart health. Whether you are experiencing signs of heart disease, arrhythmia, or other cardiovascular issues, our team is equipped with the latest diagnostic tools to help identify and treat your condition. We prioritise an all-encompassing approach to your health care, ensuring that you receive the comprehensive support and guidance needed to improve your heart health.
Private Palpitation Services
We also specialise in the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of palpitations, a common cardiovascular concern among many individuals. Our approach begins with a thorough evaluation to understand the frequency, duration, and triggers of your palpitations. This comprehensive assessment allows us to pinpoint potential underlying causes, ranging from lifestyle factors to more complex cardiac conditions.
Our expert cardiologist uses state-of-the-art diagnostic tools, including echocardiograms, Holter monitoring, and stress tests, to accurately assess your heart’s activity and identify any irregularities. Based on these findings, we develop a personalised treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. Treatments can vary from lifestyle modifications and medication management to more advanced interventions if necessary.
Private Heart Failure Assessments
At Inspire Health, we are dedicated to providing comprehensive care for individuals exhibiting symptoms indicative of heart failure, a condition characterised by the heart’s diminished ability to pump blood effectively. Recognising the profound impact this can have on one’s quality of life and functional abilities; we prioritise a detailed assessment and accurate diagnosis as the foundation of our approach. Our diagnostic process involves a series of advanced tests and evaluations that allow for a precise understanding of the heart’s condition.
Once a diagnosis is established, our multidisciplinary team crafts a personalised treatment plan aimed at managing and mitigating the symptoms of heart failure. Treatment strategies may include lifestyle changes, such as dietary modifications and tailored exercise programs, alongside medication management to improve heart function, reduce fluid buildup, and alleviate strain on the heart. For more advanced cases, we can help explore additional options like device implantation or surgical interventions.
Private blood pressure assessments
We are committed to providing expert care for individuals dealing with high blood pressure (hypertension), including those facing challenges in controlling their blood pressure despite being on multiple medications. Our approach to hypertension management is comprehensive and patient-centred, ensuring that each individual receives tailored and effective care. The process begins with a detailed assessment to understand each patient’s specific health profile and the factors contributing to their high blood pressure. This includes evaluating their current medication regime, lifestyle factors, dietary habits, and any underlying conditions that may be influencing their blood pressure levels.
For those who struggle with controlling their hypertension despite multiple therapies, we explore a range of treatment options. This may include adjusting existing medication types or dosages, introducing new pharmacological treatments, and implementing changes in diet and lifestyle. In cases where standard treatments are insufficient, we consider innovative approaches. Our support extends beyond initial treatment. We provide ongoing monitoring and regular follow-ups to assess the effectiveness of the treatment plan, making necessary adjustments to ensure optimal blood pressure control. Our team also offers education on self-management techniques and lifestyle modifications that can significantly impact blood pressure management.
Private breathlessness assessments
At InspiredHealth, we recognise that breathlessness can significantly impact quality of life and may be indicative of serious underlying health issues, including cardiac conditions. We are dedicated to meticulously evaluating individuals experiencing symptoms of breathlessness to determine whether a cardiac issue is the root cause.
Our consultant’s expertise is crucial in providing clarity and confidence in the diagnosis, particularly in complex cases where the cause of breathlessness is difficult to pinpoint. By establishing a clear diagnosis, we can better manage the condition, reduce symptoms, and improve the patient’s overall functionality and well-being. At Inspire Health, our commitment is to not only treat the symptoms but also to empower patients with understanding and control over their health.
Private echocardiogram appointments
At Inspire Health, our use of echocardiograms plays a critical role in examining the structural integrity of the heart, identifying valve problems, and detecting congenital heart conditions. This non-invasive diagnostic tool is pivotal in providing a detailed view of the heart’s chambers, valves, walls, and blood vessels, allowing for accurate assessment of cardiac function.
Our skilled cardiologist at Inspire Health is experienced in conducting and interpreting echocardiograms. They will provide comprehensive explanations of the results, discussing potential treatments or monitoring strategies depending on the findings. This ensures that each patient not only receives an accurate diagnosis but also understands their condition and the next steps in their treatment plan, whether it involves medical management, surgical interventions, or lifestyle changes to support heart health.
Private appointments for heart disease during pregnancy
Dr Matthew Ballerdi, a distinguished member of the Inspire Health team, brings extensive clinical experience in managing heart disease during pregnancy. Recognising that pregnancy can be a particularly anxious time for expectant parents, especially when compounded by cardiac concerns, Dr Ballerdi is dedicated to providing specialised care that ensures both maternal and foetal health.
Heart disease in pregnancy requires meticulous management as the cardiovascular system undergoes significant changes to support the growing foetus. Dr Ballerdi’s approach includes a thorough assessment of the mother’s cardiac health, monitoring how her heart disease may affect the pregnancy and vice versa. His expertise allows for tailored treatment plans that address the unique needs of pregnant women with pre-existing heart conditions or those who develop cardiac issues during their pregnancy.
Private valvular heart disease appointments
At Inspire Health, our commitment to patients with valvular heart disease is centred around providing comprehensive, individualised care to optimise treatment outcomes and support their overall health care needs. Beyond the immediate treatment of the valve condition, our care extends to ongoing management and support of each patient’s broader health care needs. We monitor their condition regularly to adjust treatment as needed and provide lifestyle advice tailored to their specific situation. This may involve guidance on diet, exercise, and managing risk factors like high blood pressure and cholesterol.
Our team also focuses on patient education, ensuring that those with valvular heart disease understand their condition, the importance of adhering to their treatment regime, and when to seek further medical attention. This comprehensive care approach ensures that our patients not only receive state-of-the-art medical treatment but also the ongoing support necessary to lead healthier, more active lives.
Private cardiology appointments for young people
Dr Matthew Ballerdi brings a unique specialisation to Inspire Health with his expertise in providing cardiology services specifically tailored for young people aged between 16-18 years. This demographic often faces distinct cardiac challenges that differ from those seen in younger children and older adults, making specialised care essential. The transition from paediatric to adult cardiology care can be complex, particularly for those with congenital heart conditions diagnosed in childhood or new symptoms that manifest during adolescence. Dr Ballerdi’s training equips him to bridge this gap effectively. His expertise is not widely available, as there are relatively few cardiologists who are licensed and trained to cater specifically to this age group. His ability to serve these younger patients addresses a significant need in the healthcare system.
Our services at Inspire Health include comprehensive cardiovascular evaluations, diagnosis, and management plans that are specifically adapted to meet the developmental and physiological needs of teenagers and young adults. By offering these specialised services, we help young people access high-quality cardiology care closer to their homes, reducing the need for extensive travel and minimising disruption to their education and social development.
Private cardiological screening services
Our consultant-led services offer specialised consultations that address a range of cardiac issues, including high cholesterol, genetically influenced heart diseases, and structural heart defects such as bicuspid aortic valve. These consultations are critical as they cater to both common and complex cardiac conditions that can significantly impact overall health.
These consultant-led services at Inspire Health ensure that patients receive comprehensive care tailored to their specific needs. By providing expert consultations locally, we make specialised cardiac care accessible to our community, enhancing patient outcomes and satisfaction. Our goal is to not only treat the immediate symptoms but also to educate and empower patients to take an active role in managing their heart health, ensuring long-term wellness.
