What happens during the consultation?
All initial outpatient appointments are seen personally by Dr Khambadkone and last approximately 40 minutes.
The appointment will involve a brief relevant general examination and a detailed examination of the heart, looking at the chest shape, pulsations from the heart, assessing by touch to see if any of the abnormal heart sounds cause vibrations, and finally auscultation, which is listening of the chest over the heart and lungs with a stethoscope. Babies and infants, can easily be distracted to achieve this. Toddlers may need specific distraction with toys or electronic devices.
Dr Khambadkone will perform an electrocardiogram and an echocardiogram, as required on a patient-to-patient basis. He performs these investigations himself and will report them during your consultation. This ensures that a preliminary discussion regarding the possible diagnosis can be discussed with you during the consultation. Further investigations will then be arranged as required.
Dr Khambadkone ensures families are made to feel as comfortable and reassured throughout the consultation, diagnosis and management. Certain measurements such as height, weight, pulse or heart rate, blood pressure and oxygen saturations are likely to be measured based on the individual patient.
