Ask the experts
Cardiology
To help support National Heart Month in February, we assembled a panel of two Cardiologists together with our Cardiology Services Manager, to help answer any questions you might have about the symptoms, prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Thank you to those who have submitted a question, the video of our experts answering can be seen below:

"*" indicates required fields
Our 'ask the expert' events are an opportunity for you to ask the clinicians questions about your symptoms, and about prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease. The consultants listed work for KIMS Hospital under practising privileges, which is the ‘license’ agreed between independent medical professionals and a private healthcare provider. Under these privileges, they are committed to work within the governance framework of our hospital, and to our hospital values.
Whilst we will endeavour to answer all questions in the video, this may not be possible if we receive a high volume, or if a question submitted is not appropriate.
Please note that your email address will only be used to send you a link to the video once published, and will be deleted immediately after.
Please be aware that the answers and advice given are without physical examination, and do not replace the need for a consultation. If your symptoms are urgent then please do not hesitate to contact your GP, and in the event of an emergency please call 999.
From diagnosis to recovery
We perform a variety of tests to help your Consultant find the cause of your symptoms and recommend a treatment plan. KIMS Hospital is home to the only private interventional cardiology facility in Kent, offering you the most comprehensive private cardiology service in the area.
