Assessment
A key advantage of the Sydney Heart Team is that patients are assessed by Martin Ng, Michael Vallely and Michael Wilson, in one place and during the one visit.
ADVANTAGES:
- Allows for comprehensive integrated assessment of heart problems in a single place
- Reduces time and stress, which is particularly important for elderly or very sick patients, as well as the friends and relatives who are supporting and assisting them
- Allows for a comprehensive account of a patients multi-faceted health profile:
- Nutritional state
- Lifestyle
- Management of daily tasks
- Family and social support network
- Health history
