Cardiac investigations

We support the Cardiac Angiography Department, which performs angiograms, cardioversions, pacemaker insertions and implantable loop recorders.

Our team:

We have three consultant cardiologists – Dr Jo Porter, Dr Denise Braganza and Dr Brian Gordon. Our specialist nurses are members of the following teams:   

• Acute Coronary Syndrome team      
• Heart Failure team
• Arrhythmia Nurse team
• Cardiac Rehabilitation team
• Cardiac Research team    

Our Cardiologists see outpatients in Peterborough, Stamford, Spalding and Doddington. 

GPs can arrange appointments for patients who need to be seen urgently. They make appointments for patients who have chest pain to attend the Rapid Access Chest Pain Clinic and arrange for them to attend open access exercise, treadmill tests and access echocardiography services. 

Cardiac procedures can be organised in our department by a specialist booking team.
