Vascular Medicine Clinic
Vascular Medicine is a specialist medical service focused on diagnosing and managing diseases of the blood vessels—particularly complex aortic conditions, genetic vascular syndromes, inflammatory vascular disease, and cardiovascular risk in high-complexity patients. The clinic provides longitudinal surveillance, risk reduction, and multidisciplinary coordination, including pre- and post-operative pathways where appropriate.
Reasons for Referral can be:
- Aortic aneurysm, dissection or rupture (any aetiology, pre- or post-surgery)
- Known or suspected genetic vascular condition (including aortic)
- Preoperative assessment
- Known or suspected vasculitis
- Peripheral vascular disease (genetic or acquired)
At My Heart Cardiology, our vascular health services are led by:
Dr. Geoff Lester
