Your treatment experience

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

Your heart team

After the patient has undergone a number of investigations targeted at trying to characterise their problem, Professor Martin Ng will discuss the patient’s case within the heart team.

THE TEAM INCORPORATES:

  • Non-procedural cardiologists
  • Interventional cardiologists
  • Heart surgeons
  • Radiologists
  • Cardiac anaesthetists
  • Geriatricians
  • Clinical nurse consultants 

ADVANTAGE:

The multi-faceted expertise of the heart team allows for innovative, tailored solutions for the patient.

Pre operation

During the operational procedure, Professor Martin Ng leads a team approach.

ADVANTAGES:

  • Critical advantage in achieving outstanding results in complex surgery
