What we do
We have a range of services and clinics to assess and treat patients with heart problems.
General Cardiology
The Alfred is one of the leading cardiology services for the state and receives many referrals spanning a broad range of conditions. Patients are often referred to our General Cardiology service to be diagnosed and managed. Depending on the tests and treatments required, patients are sometimes referred on to our more specialised cardiology clinics.
Specialised Cardiology
We conduct a range of specialised clinics for specific conditions, and apply a multidisciplinary approach to offer the best patient care.
Pacing
The Alfred has a broad experience across all kinds of cardiac devices for the heart, including pacemakers and implantable cardiac defibrillators.
Coronary Intervention
The Alfred currently runs three cardiac catheter labs and performs the full array of coronary interventional procedures, from basic interventions such as stent insertion to the more complicated procedures.
Imaging
Our cardiac imaging service covers many different types of imaging, including echocardiography, stress echocardiography, transoesophageal echocardiography, cardiac CT and cardiac MRI.
Heart Failure & Transplant
We provide care and support for patients requiring a heart transplant or those who have had a heart transplant (including ventricular assist devices).
Electrophysiology
Electrophysiology offers a range of arrhythmia services which include catheter ablation for complex arrhythmias including atrial fibrillation.
Structural Heart
We are a highly specialised program that cares for and treats people with a wide range of problems associated with their heart valves or chambers of their heart, using minimally invasive techniques.
