Cardiovascular Disease
Cardiovascular disease is the medical term for
heart attacks, strokes and other diseases of the circulation. These are serious
conditions that are common causes of both death and disability.
In some cases cardiovascular problems run in families but there are lots of
other risk factors involved, which the practice team, with your help, can
modify. Sophie Tokatly runs our heart disease treatment and screening clinic on
a Thursday morning. She is able to help people who already have problems but can
also assess people who have not yet had problems to help you reduce the chance
of having a heart attack or stroke.
We operate a recall system for this clinic and will routinely contact you when
your appointment is due. If however you wish to make your own appointment please
contact reception.
