General Cardiology Clinic

What we do

The Alfred is one of the leading cardiology services for the state and receives many referrals spanning a broad range of conditions. Often patients are seen through our General Cardiology service for diagnosis and management, and depending on the tests and treatments required, patients are either referred on to our other specialist clinics or managed within this clinic.
