Heart and metabolic
How we work with these patients
Assessment covers cardiovascular risk factors, metabolic markers, medications, and lifestyle, with coordination where a cardiologist is involved.
Assessment covers medical history, current medications, recent laboratory work, and what the patient and family are hoping to achieve. Where a specialist is involved and the patient consents, we write to them.
What we may discuss at assessment
[Services that could form part of a pathway, framed as possibilities determined by assessment. Never presented as a protocol.]What we don’t do
We do not treat cardiovascular disease or diabetes, and we do not adjust prescribed medication.
If you’re arranging this for a parent or relative
Many of the people who contact us about this are family rather than the patient. We’ve written a separate page covering what to ask, what we can’t discuss by phone, and how it works if you’re overseas.
