Remote Monitoring with The Heart Partners
The Heart Partners run the most comprehensive private CareLink Networks in the UK and one of the largest in Europe. This allows most patients with pacemakers, implantable defibrillators and implanted loop recorders to be checked remotely. The implanted devices can communicate with CareLink using a small external monitor which connects to any mobile phone network. This allows the patient and their device to be checked more frequently, looking for any problems and can also monitor the response to various treatments. ECG tracings from inside the heart can be obtained (real-time as well as stored). Problems can often be identified before the patient may otherwise be aware of them, which has been literally life-saving, and usually substantially reduces the number of clinic visits needed.
World Class Physicians
The Heart Partners bring together leading cardiologists to offer a comprehensive cardiac service. The senior partner, Dr Anthony Nathan, is joined by Dr Niall Keenan (Cardiac Imaging and General Cardiology) and Dr Anthony Chow (Atrial Fibrillation, Heart Rhythm disorders, Ablation and ICDs/ Pacemakers), enabling holistic care for your heart.
How do the Heart Partners Work?
-
The Heart Partners share a common ethos on the care of the cardiac patient, delivered in a compassionate and friendly manner. They will each be working in private practice, and will use each other’s special expertise and share secretaries and notes (now becoming electronic).
-
The practices are all based at the Spire Bushey Hospital. Dr Nathan also sees outpatients at the Platinum Medical Centre of The Wellington Hospital.
-
Invasive procedures are performed at The Wellington Hospital.
-
If one of the Partners is unavailable, patients are offered an appointment with one of the other members of the team who will be fully conversant with the patient’s case history and have full access to the notes, although patients are. obviously free to see someone else if they or their referring physician prefers
-
Remote monitoring of pacemakers, implantable defibrillators and implantable event recorders (CareLink) is managed by a specialist physiologist, Leah Beck, who is an expert in all aspects of pacing technology and associated patient care
