For Patients
At iSave Heart Clinic, the patient always comes first. This page is designed to demystify cardiology jargon and clearly explain common heart tests in plain, easy-to-understand language. We aim to help patients feel informed, prepared, and confident about what to expect before, during, and after their investigations. By breaking down complex medical terms and procedures into clear explanations, we support better understanding, reduce anxiety, and encourage patients to take an active role in their heart health and care journey.
