Frequently Asked Questions
Read through our frequently asked questions, or contact us directly if you have any queries.
How much does it cost to see a cardiac specialist in Melbourne?
The cost of seeing Melbourne cardiologists depends on if your consultation and tests are eligible for a Medicare rebate and what tests, treatment or medicine you may need. You can contact the friendly administration staff at Melbourne Heart Care, who can provide a cost estimation based on your individual patient needs.
Do you need a referral to see a cardiologist in Australia?
Yes, you need a referral from your doctor before you attend a consultation with one of Australia’s cardiologists. Your GP can provide you with this referral based on your symptoms or past medical history and then you can call us at Melbourne Heart Care to make your appointment.
What does a cardiologist do?
Doctors with a valid medical degree from a university can undertake further research and studies in cardiology. This means they can diagnose and manage all aspects of heart health, such as diagnostic tests like echocardiography or prescribing simple medicine for heart disease.
What is the difference between cardiac doctors and an electrophysiologist?
A cardiac specialist looks after all aspects of the heart, from heart failure and heart attacks to high blood pressure and murmurs. An electrophysiologist specialises in arrhythmia management and research. They diagnose and manage different heart rhythms and perform surgery to insert cardiac devices to control the arrhythmia or for accurate rhythm diagnosis.
At what age should you start seeing cardiac specialists?
The Australian Heart Foundation recommends that if you are aged 45 and over, or 30 and over if of Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander descent then you should see your GP about your cardiac health. Your GP may refer you to a cardiac specialist if they believe it necessary. If you have significant risk factors, such as a family history of heart disease, smoking, diabetes or obesity, you should be discussing the health of your heart with your GP now.
