This decision has been made to modernise and improve the premises, and to benefit patients with better facilities. Of course, the new facilities will make access easier with Lifts and free parking for patients, with disabled parking directly outside the Practice. Apart from the location, the Practice will remain the same. We aim to continue our high standard of clinical care whilst maintaining the personal approach, with both the same staff and myself being readily available to both patients and Doctors as before. https://www.drchristopherquirkcardiologist.com/electrocardiogram daily 0.75 2021-12-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61a3422da26b5803993c4650/1835f89c-09a8-4aea-9f85-c4106ce987f8/ECG+Machine.jpg Electrocardiogram - Electrocardiogram This is the most commonly performed heart test to look at the electrical activity of the heart at rest. The healthy heart has a very characteristic electrical tracing and changes from this normal pattern may reflect disease states, previous heart attack, lack of blood flow to the heart, heart enlargement, abnormalities of the heart rhythm, and many congenital conditions. An ECG is often done on each visit to monitor serial changes in the hearts condition that may not be apparent on talking to the patient or on examination. How is an ECG done? Twelve ECG electrodes are placed over the chest wall, both ankles and both wrists. The chest may need to be prepared with gentle rubbing of the skin to ensure good contact. The ECG electrodes are then attached to the ECG machine and a recording is made and printed out. This process may take as little as 2-5 minutes. The procedure is entirely painless. https://www.drchristopherquirkcardiologist.com/holter-monitor-1 daily 0.75 2021-12-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61a3422da26b5803993c4650/6c7d1d37-5cfb-4595-8cb6-a2e3aa4272b6/holter_monitor.jpg Holter Monitor https://www.drchristopherquirkcardiologist.com/tests daily 0.75 2022-03-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61a3422da26b5803993c4650/1638182017303-LTPLO4IQQR7IS7C2DB4W/ECG+tracing.jpg Investigations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61a3422da26b5803993c4650/1638182248569-A0TVOAWTWLH7W70Q55Z7/Echo++doing.jpg Investigations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61a3422da26b5803993c4650/1638259629022-FG93R298XOCIMTSS0KXK/Angio+cartoon.jpg Investigations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61a3422da26b5803993c4650/1638259751153-JVKZBLH83Z62V6H1L6C1/Cardiac+Test.jpg Investigations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61a3422da26b5803993c4650/1638259833740-B8OWZ6HZEKYRUOH4UXIZ/RevealDX.jpg Investigations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61a3422da26b5803993c4650/1638259975746-SHNL2OJ9HGE0NTTV6WSW/Stress+Echo.gif Investigations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61a3422da26b5803993c4650/1638260003713-B1CGQYVESYC6GGERJARH/Stress+test+1.jpg Investigations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61a3422da26b5803993c4650/1638260419840-8DHD6PD2QBAYXB7GG8P5/unsplash-image-f2aDTqfnqfE.jpg Investigations https://www.drchristopherquirkcardiologist.com/angiogram daily 0.75 2021-12-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61a3422da26b5803993c4650/486a137c-b142-46e7-8eaf-ec3410690e58/CQ+Cath+Lab.jpg Angiogram https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61a3422da26b5803993c4650/e4d05ddf-348c-4c2c-9a5a-585a50dc0771/Angio+cartoon.jpg Angiogram - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61a3422da26b5803993c4650/f01cdab4-4f01-4422-976c-383a7f86ee83/Angio+RCA.jpg Angiogram https://www.drchristopherquirkcardiologist.com/ilr daily 0.75 2021-12-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61a3422da26b5803993c4650/1b956f48-c8e0-4683-9a16-9cad388f8192/RevealDX.jpg ILR - Implanted Loop Recorder These devices are designed to capture abnormalities of the heart rhythm that are very infrequent, such that even a Patient Activated Event Monitor is likely to have a low chance of success. These recorders will record any abnormality of the heart rhythm for up to three years. What is involved with an Implantable Loop Recorder ? A Loop Recorder is implanted under local anaesthetic underneath the skin, usually on the left hand side of the chest wall. It is approximately the size of a small computer memory stick. It is implanted in hospital under sterile conditions and under local anaesthetic. This procedure takes approximately half an hour. What are the risks of an Implanted loop recorder? A Loop Recorder has almost zero risk involved and is extremely useful at recording very intermittent symptoms. It is interrogated via an external laptop computer whenever a patient experiences any symptoms or every 3-6 months to analyse whether there has been any abnormality of the heart rhythm during that period. https://www.drchristopherquirkcardiologist.com/exercise-test daily 0.75 2021-12-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61a3422da26b5803993c4650/9ca16f70-d379-4621-abba-d57c693e18e2/Stress+test+1.jpg Exercise Test https://www.drchristopherquirkcardiologist.com/stenting daily 0.75 2021-12-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61a3422da26b5803993c4650/f01cdab4-4f01-4422-976c-383a7f86ee83/Angio+RCA.jpg Stenting https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61a3422da26b5803993c4650/06cd9be0-26ad-4089-9cc2-5a33f126e2f3/cathlab.jpg Stenting https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61a3422da26b5803993c4650/29be2d02-72be-4a6c-be68-6b8661cf9cc8/Stent.jpg Stenting - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61a3422da26b5803993c4650/67f1b755-406f-45f1-a71a-185d4380e791/Stent+1.jpg Stenting - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61a3422da26b5803993c4650/e3617540-a72a-43ec-a459-fba72307c1b5/Stent.gif Stenting - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61a3422da26b5803993c4650/e4d05ddf-348c-4c2c-9a5a-585a50dc0771/Angio+cartoon.jpg Stenting - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.drchristopherquirkcardiologist.com/about daily 0.75 2025-10-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61a3422da26b5803993c4650/ccfd86f1-f00d-4114-859b-3fcf275e6b72/CQ+Work+Photo.jpg https://www.drchristopherquirkcardiologist.com/echocardiography daily 0.75 2021-12-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61a3422da26b5803993c4650/b55a54f7-945b-4257-9766-483064346d82/Echo+MR.jpg Echocardiography https://www.drchristopherquirkcardiologist.com/toe daily 0.75 2021-12-01 https://www.drchristopherquirkcardiologist.com/stress-echocardiogram-1 daily 0.75 2021-12-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61a3422da26b5803993c4650/4fe727a5-a31c-4803-80aa-dbf6b2e481cb/Stress+Echo.gif Stress Echocardiogram https://www.drchristopherquirkcardiologist.com/procedures daily 0.75 2022-03-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618497259178-6XJGK9GR6YAVBQL5L519/20140301_Trade-151_012-2.jpg Procedures https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694583486-2PQT0LQ193RL7MCB6DX4/20140228_Trade+151_0046.jpg Procedures https://www.drchristopherquirkcardiologist.com/palpitations daily 0.75 2021-12-01 https://www.drchristopherquirkcardiologist.com/chest-pain daily 0.75 2021-12-01 https://www.drchristopherquirkcardiologist.com/smoking daily 0.75 2021-12-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61a3422da26b5803993c4650/381a478c-8c7a-47a9-886f-792a7e5f23af/Smoking+poster.jpeg Smoking - Smoking What can I say! Why? So let me see….. “you roll up some leaves, wrap them in paper, put it in your mouth and set fire to it”?? Doesn’t make a lot of sense, does it? Yet, despite this, and in spite of the overwhelming evidence, smoking is still a major international problem. I would acknowledge that years ago we didn’t really know how bad smoking was for health. Well, I’m afraid the jury is out, there remains absolutely no doubt. Smoking will kill you, not if but when. That’s if you are lucky! Worse than that is the misery of a stroke, heart failure, amputation and endless suffocation from emphysema. I am fully aware that it can be difficult to give up smoking. However, I also believe that the only way to give up smoking is to want to, and the first thing to accept is the need to give up. Once that mental battle has been won then there are multiple methods available to help with the physical aspect, and your local GP will be the best starting point for this. https://www.drchristopherquirkcardiologist.com/pacemakers daily 0.75 2021-12-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61a3422da26b5803993c4650/dca51dde-da97-44a7-99d1-28cfff4586a6/PPM+schematic.jpg Pacemakers - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61a3422da26b5803993c4650/85283cb7-295e-4af9-aaaf-42f736dc66d8/PPM+Hand.jpg Pacemakers - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61a3422da26b5803993c4650/1638264817271-2ZI2RHEWHYWXYR26L19R/unsplash-image-E285pJbC4uE.jpg Pacemakers https://www.drchristopherquirkcardiologist.com/breathlessness daily 0.75 2021-12-01 https://www.drchristopherquirkcardiologist.com/defibrillator daily 0.75 2021-12-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61a3422da26b5803993c4650/72389af5-4de6-4abf-8880-5b9e0bee9f9e/ICD.jpeg Defibrillator - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61a3422da26b5803993c4650/1638264817271-2ZI2RHEWHYWXYR26L19R/unsplash-image-E285pJbC4uE.jpg Defibrillator https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61a3422da26b5803993c4650/dca51dde-da97-44a7-99d1-28cfff4586a6/PPM+schematic.jpg Defibrillator - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.drchristopherquirkcardiologist.com/blood-pressure daily 0.75 2021-12-01 https://www.drchristopherquirkcardiologist.com/cholesterol daily 0.75 2021-12-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61a3422da26b5803993c4650/cd1752e2-ffdd-49d3-ae0c-1496c4b9d3a9/Cholesterol.jpeg Cholesterol - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.drchristopherquirkcardiologist.com/information daily 0.75 2022-03-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618497259178-6XJGK9GR6YAVBQL5L519/20140301_Trade-151_012-2.jpg Symptoms https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694583486-2PQT0LQ193RL7MCB6DX4/20140228_Trade+151_0046.jpg Symptoms https://www.drchristopherquirkcardiologist.com/prevention daily 0.75 2021-12-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61a3422da26b5803993c4650/b68b9f27-fdae-42a6-b0b6-eae347565cdc/Heart+disease.jpeg Prevention - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61a3422da26b5803993c4650/ecd21cc1-48ef-4d48-b8c5-ed4ed91cdaca/heart-disease-prevention.jpg Prevention - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.drchristopherquirkcardiologist.com/exercise daily 0.75 2021-12-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61a3422da26b5803993c4650/d991b93c-79ab-4301-a72a-16a56fdc6dea/exercise-busy-schedule.jpg Exercise - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61a3422da26b5803993c4650/4fb485ff-3a82-426f-ab69-115e41370b5a/olderfitness.jpg Exercise - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.drchristopherquirkcardiologist.com/cardioversion daily 0.75 2021-12-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61a3422da26b5803993c4650/c7f71f51-d5d5-4da1-b7bb-c5d0b6d08820/Defib.jpg Cardioversion https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61a3422da26b5803993c4650/323eb4c3-3aeb-4256-bfab-09ff7f3b5791/Defib+Machine.jpg Cardioversion - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.drchristopherquirkcardiologist.com/family-history daily 0.75 2021-12-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61a3422da26b5803993c4650/5b379d45-b7c3-4998-8681-6aff346aecf1/Plaque.jpg Family History - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.drchristopherquirkcardiologist.com/diabetes daily 0.75 2021-12-01 https://www.drchristopherquirkcardiologist.com/weight-loss daily 0.75 2021-12-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61a3422da26b5803993c4650/2d05aa7d-0f83-454c-be1d-31d7fe399539/Obesity.jpg Weight Loss - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.drchristopherquirkcardiologist.com/home-for-move daily 1.0 2025-10-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61a3422da26b5803993c4650/ccfd86f1-f00d-4114-859b-3fcf275e6b72/CQ+Work+Photo.jpg Home
