Benefits of a Cardiac Second Opinion
When faced with the decision to undergo heart surgery, seeking out a second opinion can serve as a crucial safeguard. The Keyhole Heart Clinic ensures that patients are well-informed and confident in their choices.

What Our Second Opinion Involves
A private second-opinion review helps you understand your diagnosis and test results, and clarifies uncertainties about your medical condition and treatment options.
This gives you confidence and peace of mind about the next step forward towards a healthier life. Here is the process you can expect at the Keyhole Heart Clinic.
1. Initial Consultation
During the initial 45-minute consultation, our specialists assess your cardiac health. Consultations can be online or face-to-face at one of our UK clinics.
2. Image & Test Collection
We help gather the necessary cardiac images for any relevant tests you have already undergone. These will be transferred to our servers for clinical review.
Disclaimer: We make every attempt to engage with your existing medical team to obtain records. Delays outside our control may occur; we can’t accept responsibility for these.
3. Recommendations for Further Tests
We will advise on any further tests required to evaluate your cardiac status. If you wish, we can perform these tests for you or coordinate with your local cardiac team.
4. Multi-Disciplinary Team Presentation
Once we have collected all the information and relevant tests, your clinical history and cardiac findings are jointly reviewed by our Multidisciplinary Team (MDT). This collaborative approach aims to offer a well-rounded opinion on treatment options and the suitability for keyhole cardiac surgery.
5. Your Second Opinion Report
At the end of our process, we’ll provide a detailed report summarising your heart condition. We will also provide recommendations and alternative treatment options.
We then share this report with you and your local doctors so you can:
-
Continue treatment locally confidently.
-
Or choose to have treatment with us, fully prepared and informed.
