High volume of cases, specifically in coronary intervention, has been shown to give the best success rate. Annually, the Clinic performs more than 4000 procedures, including the following:
- 1600 diagnostic studies
- 1000 Angioplasty procedures (with stents)
- 400 Pacemakers
- 100 Electrophysiology studies
- 30 Valvuloplasties
The use of stents after Angioplasty has increased with improvement in stent design and the new antiplatelet treatments. Currently stents are deployed in more than 95% of Angioplasty cases.
Overall results and any complications are reviewed quarterly, revealing excellent clinical results to date. At these sessions we pride ourselves on critical discussion so techniques can be continually improved. |

Leading the Way in Credentialing
The standard of the Eastern Heart Clinic credentialing of Cardiologists is unique in Australia. The Clinic's credentialing guidelines are set substantially above the standards of the American College of Cardiology and American Heart Association. This means the calibre and experience of our cardiologists are second to none.
Innovators in Research and Clinical Trials
 Patients benefit from our position as a respected cardiology innovator and our location and close association with a major tertiary hospital. The Cardiac Surgical team is on hand in the rare event they are needed and for consultation with those patients who are unsuitable for Angioplasty.
