The Department of Cardiology at Southend provides a comprehensive service that encompasses all aspects of heart disease in accordance with national guidelines. 

Patients with heart attacks are given clot busting medication at their home by trained paramedical staff whilst those arriving to A&E are managed by a team of specialised nurses.
