Resting ECG
A twelve-lead trace of your heart's electrical activity. Painless, no preparation needed.
Used for: rhythm, prior damage, baseline
Service 02
Cardiac Care
Investigation and interpretation in the same building — so a rhythm question doesn't become a three-month wait.

The difference
The test and the answer, same week
In most referral pathways a cardiac test is ordered in one place, performed in another and interpreted in a third. Every handoff adds weeks.
We run the equipment here and our visiting cardiologist reads the traces here. For the majority of patients that compresses a typical eight-to-twelve week investigation into a single week — often a single visit.
- Equipment on site, not contracted out
- Traces read by the cardiologist who sees you
- Your family physician sees results the same day
- No repeat testing between providers

What we run
Tests available on site
45 min
Exercise stress ECG
A monitored treadmill test that shows how your heart behaves under exertion rather than at rest.
Used for: exertional symptoms, capacity
24 – 48 hr
Holter monitoring
A small recorder worn during normal daily activity to catch intermittent rhythm events.
Used for: palpitations, blackouts
24 hr
Ambulatory BP monitoring
Readings taken automatically through a full day and night, which is far more reliable than clinic readings alone.
Used for: hypertension diagnosis
15 min
Cardiac bloodwork
Lipid profile, HbA1c and cardiac markers drawn on site and processed by our partner lab.
Used for: risk scoring, monitoring
30 min
Risk consultation
A structured review of family history, lifestyle and results to produce a ten-year risk estimate.
Used for: prevention planning
Worth booking for

Who reads your results
Dr. Anselm Raducu
Consultant Cardiologist · Tue & Thu clinics
Dr. Raducu has run our cardiology sessions since 2016, splitting his week between hospital practice and this clinic. He reads every trace generated here himself rather than delegating to an external reporting service.
His particular interest is in hypertension that hasn't responded to first-line treatment, and in rhythm disorders that standard resting ECGs miss.
- Fellowship in interventional cardiology
- Joint hospital & community practice

Questions
Before your cardiac appointment
Our nursing team can talk through any preparation details when they confirm your slot.
Ask Our Team →Not from outside. If you're already a MediCore patient your family physician books you in directly. If you're not, start with a family medicine appointment and we'll route you internally after an initial assessment.
Never stop cardiac medication without being told to. Some stress tests require holding beta blockers for 24 hours — if that applies to you, our nurse will call you specifically about it beforehand.
No — the recorder and electrodes must stay dry for the full recording period. Most patients find a 24-hour fitting easier to schedule around than 48 hours, so tell us if timing matters.
Comfortable shoes you can walk briskly in and a two-piece outfit. Avoid body lotion on your chest that day, since electrodes won't adhere properly through it.
Dr. Raducu decides whether it's managed here or needs hospital cardiology. If it's the latter he makes the referral personally, with the traces attached, which is considerably faster than starting a fresh pathway.
