Cardiology

St Vincent’s Hospital Melbourne’s Cardiology Department is one of the leading clinical cardiac services in Australia. We offer comprehensive cardiac services with our consultants established at the forefront of cardiac technology using recognised international best practices.

The Cardiology Department includes the Coronary Care Unit, Cardiac Investigation Unit and Cardiac Catheterisation Laboratories and the state-of-the art St Vincent's Heart Centre.

Our services are provided for outpatients & inpatients through St Vincent’s Heart Centre & the Cardiac Investigation Unit, and the newly established National Centre for Sports Cardiology, all located on the St Vincent’s Fitzroy campus. We provide care to emergency and elective patients with heart disease including ischaemic heart disease, heart failure and valvular heart disease.

St Vincent’s Heart Centre aims to be recognised as a world class facility which offers the latest technology and comprehensive ambulatory testing and consulting services whilst integrating clinical care, education, research and preventative health all under the one roof. We are playing a leading role in tackling heart disease and significantly improving access for Victorian patients to specialist cardiac services.

All services are bulk-billed, excluding Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitors.

HealthPathways Melbourne is an online portal designed to be used by general practice at the point of care to guide best practice assessment, management and referral of common clinical conditions.

Please Note:
This is a public outpatient service. All patients need to be referred to us by a GP. Please see your GP if you believe you would benefit from a referral to this clinic. Many doctors have private consulting suites as well as working in the public hospital system. This is entirely separate from St Vincent’s and our staff do not have any information about the private consulting practices of doctors.
