ONE TO ONE CARE
INSTEAD OF HAVING TO SEE MULTIPLE DOCTORS AT MANY LOCATIONS, WE GATHER YOUR WHOLE HEART TEAM IN ONE PLACE.
Led by Professor Martin Ng, alongside Professor Michael Wilson, the Sydney Heart Team brings doctors from different specialties who integrate to provide a comprehensive array of solutions, using available technologies. We comprehensively assess the entire spectrum of a patient’s health condition and decide treatment options as an interdisciplinary team of:
Your cardiologist is a medical specialist who can diagnose and treat conditions of the heart and blood vessels.

This interdisciplinary team approach benefits all patients with heart disease. If they’re not suitable for corrective open heart surgery, we can take advantage of minimally invasive or trans-catheter techniques (like trans-catheter aortic valve implantation) that have lower mortality and faster recover rates. By working collaboratively across disciplines such as interventional cardiology and cardiac surgery, we can offer a patient the best solution to their problem.
