What to Expect When You See a Cardiologist
A cardiologist is a medical professional specialised in diagnosing and treating disorders of the heart and circulation. If you experience symptoms such as chest pain, breathlessness, palpitations, dizziness or fatigue, a heart specialist can investigate the causes, often using tests like ECGs, echocardiograms, stress ECGs and heart scans. They assess levels of cholesterol, blood pressure and diabetes to understand the forces at play.
Correct diagnosis allows your cardiologist to design an effective care plan. That plan may include lifestyle recommendations, medications or interventional procedures such as angioplasty to restore blood flow in blocked arteries. In severe cases, they collaborate closely with cardiac surgeons for bypass operations or valve repair. Finally, they continue monitoring long-term conditions like heart failure or arrhythmia to prevent complications.

Benefits of Choosing an HSBC Life Panel Heart Specialist
Choosing an HSBC Life panel cardiologist at Parkway East Hospital brings several important benefits, especially if you have an Integrated Shield Plan. First, when you consult a doctor from the approved panel, your insurance usually covers a larger portion of the total bill. This can significantly reduce your out-of-pocket expenses—not just for consultations, but also for diagnostic tests and hospital stays, if admission is required.
Second, the process of getting pre-authorisation and direct billing is much smoother. The hospital works closely with your insurer, so you don’t have to deal with large upfront payments or wait weeks for reimbursements. This coordination makes it easier for you to focus on your treatment and recovery without added financial stress.
Third, HSBC carefully selects its panel doctors based on qualifications, experience, and track record. This gives you peace of mind knowing that your cardiologist meets high standards of care and is recognised by the insurer for delivering trusted, professional service.
