Sutherland Heart Clinic

Welcome to Sutherland Heart Clinic, a leading establishment in cardiovascular medicine located at Caringbah, Kingsway, Australia. Situated within the renowned Sutherland Hospital, our clinic is uniquely co-located, providing us with a true 24-hour full activity capability. This is especially crucial as we serve a major emergency department and a large intensive care unit.

As one of the few hospitals in Sydney offering 24-hour emergency procedures for heart attack patients, we work closely with the ambulance system, known as the PAPA system. This ensures that no matter the time of day, you can feel safe and secure at Sutherland Heart Clinic.

Our co-location with Sutherland Hospital allows both private and public patients to access our highly specialized services, regardless of their referral source. This results in a higher volume of procedures, with over 3,500 performed each year. Such volumes have been associated with increased safety and improved patient outcomes.

At Sutherland Heart Clinic, safety is our top priority. Our team consists of highly trained procedural cardiologists, clinical cardiologists, anaesthetists, radiographers, specialist nurses, theatre personnel, and administrative staff. Additionally, we have the support of cardiac and vascular surgeons who provide additional specialized services.

We take immense pride in our anaesthetic service, maintaining a strong relationship with the anaesthetic department of Sutherland Hospital. This allows us to provide ready access to anaesthetic cover, which is still relatively uncommon in most cardiac catheter suites. Our dedicated rostered anaesthetists are available 24 hours a day to handle any emergencies that may arise.

In addition to our focus on patient safety, Sutherland Heart Clinic invests heavily in new technology. Our radiology equipment is state-of-the-art, with a particular emphasis on delivering low radiation dose procedures to our patients. We also utilize newer technologies, such as intravascular ultrasound, optical coherence tomography, and fractional flow reserve.

Our clinic offers a wide range of procedures, including diagnostic studies, angioplasty procedures with stents, and pacemaker procedures. Rest assured that all doctors performing interventional procedures have completed sub-specialty training and hold simultaneous appointments at public hospitals and universities. We also support the University of NSW with medical student training, allowing students to observe procedures with patient permission.

At Sutherland Heart Clinic, we are committed to excellence, quality, and safety. We prioritize research and teaching, ensuring that our patients receive the most advanced care available.
