Chest Pain Clinic and STAT Cardiology Clinic at SPH

The inaugural and state-of-the art Chest Pain Clinic at St. Paul’s Hospital is the first in Canada, and modelled from successful similar clinics in the United Kingdom and the United States.  Patients with chest pain possibly due to coronary artery disease are welcome to be referred to this clinic for expedited assessment and care by a cardiologist.

The STAT Cardiology Clinic sees all other urgent or semi-urgent patient for cardiac symptoms that are not related to ischemic chest pain for investigations, diagnosis, and longitudinal care.

Referrals are promptly triaged and patients seen within appropriate time frames or triaged to the non-urgent General Cardiology Clinic or a subspecialty cardiology clinic, as required. At the discretion and request of the referring physician, patients can be expedited for a consultation within 1-3 weeks.
