Telehealth is available with Victorian Heart Hospital specialists including cardiologists, cardiothoracic surgeons and nurse consultants to patients and families, particularly those who live in rural and regional Victoria and interstate who wish to consult with a cardiac specialist by video.
We recommend that your first appointment with your cardiac specialist takes place in person on site at the Victorian Heart Hospital.
