About heart problems

Heart problems, in the sense this page covers, means symptoms that are being looked into in a planned, non-urgent way, such as palpitations (a fluttering, pounding or irregular heartbeat), a heart murmur, or breathlessness that a GP wants investigated.

How we know this

NHS RTT data, July 2026.

Cardiology as a whole, not heart problems alone.

Wait or Pay is independent and is not the NHS. We show the routes and let you choose. Nothing here is medical advice.

How long will you really wait, and how could you go sooner?

Your free dashboard compares all four paths for heart problems: wait, switch to a faster NHS hospital, part-private, or fully private. It names the faster hospitals near you, shows what going private would cost, and gives you letters ready to send. You can print it or save it as a PDF. Free, and nothing is locked or paid.
