- cardiac arrhythmias
- cardiovascular disease

Our service incorporates a general ward and a coronary care unit. A broad range of non-invasive diagnostic testing is available for outpatients and inpatients, such as:
- blood tests
- cardiac ultrasound (echocardiogram)
- coronary angiogram
- electrocardiogram (ECG)
- exercise (ECG).
Outpatient clinics are delivered at Dunedin and Southland hospitals.
