What an online cardiology consultation covers

An online cardiology consultation with Dr Salam Salloum, Consultant Cardiologist (GMC 5209498), is held by secure video or telephone from anywhere in the UK. You can refer yourself, and no GP letter is needed.

What can be addressed

Symptoms such as palpitations, breathlessness, dizziness, chest pain or fainting, with advice on whether any tests are needed.
Review and explanation of tests you already have, including ECGs, echocardiograms, ambulatory monitors and cardiac CT or MRI reports.
Medication reviews, management plans and second opinions.
Specialist advice on heart failure, heart valve disease and cardiac imaging.
A written clinic letter after your consultation and, where treatment is appropriate, a private online prescription (UK patients only).

Remote diagnostics and home testing

Where clinically appropriate, Dr Salloum can arrange tests that are done from your home anywhere in the UK:

Holter and ECG heart rhythm monitors, worn at home for 24 hours up to 14 days.
24-hour blood pressure monitors, delivered to your home.
Consultant reporting of an ECG that you send to us.

Tests that need scanning equipment, such as an echocardiogram, exercise stress echo, cardiac CT or cardiac MRI, are arranged at clinics in Peterborough, Corby or London.

Referrals and when to be seen in person

After your consultation, with your agreement, a summary can be shared with your GP or another specialist. A face-to-face assessment in Peterborough or Corby is advised where a physical examination or on-site testing is important.

This is a planned service and does not replace emergency care. Call 999 for severe or persistent chest pain, collapse or symptoms of a stroke.

Cardiology services FAQs

Which consultation should I book?

If you are not sure, a telephone or video consultation is a good place to start. Dr Salloum will review your symptoms and results and advise on any tests or a face to face appointment. Choose face to face if you would like a physical examination.

What is the difference between telephone and video consultations?

Both are 30 minutes and available across the UK, seven days a week, often with same-day appointments. Video uses Zoom, so you can talk face to face and share home blood pressure readings or reports on screen.

Where are face to face appointments?

Face to face consultations are at The Hamptons Hospital in Peterborough and Innovate Diagnostics in Corby, on Saturdays. Both have free on-site parking.

How much do consultations cost?

A telephone consultation is from £100, a video consultation from £150 and a face to face consultation is £200. Private medical insurance may be accepted for face to face consultations, subject to authorisation. Prices for other services are shown on their own pages.

Will I receive a written plan after my appointment?

Yes. After your consultation you receive a written summary of the advice and management plan.

Can I arrange tests as well?

Yes. Dr Salloum can arrange echocardiograms, stress echo, exercise ECG, CT coronary angiogram, cardiac MRI and heart monitors, and review the results with you. See the cardiac tests page for locations.

Can you review test results I already have?

Yes. Book a telephone or video consultation and share your reports. For echo, cardiac MRI or CT results you can also use the cardiac investigations review, and for heart failure there is a dedicated heart failure consultation.
