HP Frequently Asked Questions

An online or telephone consultation can be conducted using secure approved technologies that enable video conferencing or by telephone. The actual platform for the initial consultation will be determined in advance by our cardiology team and depends largely on the medical situation. As shown in recent research, an online or telephone consultation has shown to be both effective and beneficial resulting in early detection and treatment particularly for those rural communities with limited access to a cardiologist.

Cardiology Now offers expedited access to a team of certified Ontario-based cardiologists with hospital affiliations. Quick access to a certified cardiologist enables patients to lower their risk from developing cardiovascular disease from preventable undiagnosed cardiac onsets.
