The healthy heart clinic is for anyone who has had a heart problem (eg heart attack, surgery, angina).

The aim is to prevent any further heart disease. Patients are invited to attend for an annual check. Weight, smoking, exercise and cholesterol levels are monitored. This is combined with a blood pressure clinic is for people who have been diagnosed with high blood pressure and are usually taking medication. It is also an opportunity to assess people who have borderline blood pressures to help make the decision as to whether they should take any medication.

Patients taking medication should have their BP measured six-monthly with an annual check at the clinic to monitor weight, smoking, exercise habits and cholesterol monitoring. ECGs may be done at assessment appointments.
