Consultant Cardiologist Dr Ruzicka offers expert assessment and personalised care for your cardiac concerns. Appointments are unhurried, giving you time to fully understand your condition, discuss treatment options, and ask any questions. An ECG (electrocardiogram) is included as part of every initial consultation. If further tests are needed - such as an echocardiogram, ECG monitor or treadmill test - these can be arranged privately at The Alexandra Hospital with minimal waiting time. The investigations are performed on site by experienced cardiac physiologists. Cardiac CT is performed by Dr Ruzicka personally.
