The Keyhole Heart Clinic expands to the Midlands

We’re proud to announce the launch of our new regional base at The Park Hospital, Nottingham. This expansion brings advanced minimally invasive heart surgery closer to patients across the Midlands.

The first keyhole aortic valve replacement has already been successfully completed at the site by Dr Inder Birdi and the hospital’s cardiac team.

For patients who fear the idea of traditional open-heart surgery, this development means access to world-class keyhole techniques, smaller incisions, reduced pain, lower infection risk, and recovery measured in days, not months.

This is a major step in expanding access to outstanding cardiac care across the UK.

Heart Screening: What Your Tests Are Really Telling You — and Why Follow-Up Matters More Than You Think

Many people assume heart disease makes itself obvious, crushing chest pain, sudden collapse, or breathlessness you can’t ignore. The truth is far more subtle. In Clinic, I see patients nearly every week whose heart conditions reveal almost no symptoms.

That’s why a heart screen isn’t just a check-up, it’s your early-warning system. The tests show what your heart is doing right now. The follow-up reveals what it will do tomorrow.

Read more to find out what your results really mean, and why staying on top of them matters more than you think - https://www.thekeyholeheartclinic.com/blog/heart-screening-what-your-tests-are-really-telling-you-and-why-follow-up-matters-more-than-you-think/

What should heart screening really look like? This is my view🙏🏽. What do you think? DM me.

Have you ever wondered why some people look perfectly healthy… until the day their heart says otherwise?

And if there was a way to quietly spot heart disease years before symptoms appear - would you want to know?

The truth is, most people are flying blind.
They rely on a quick GP check, a cholesterol blood test, maybe an ECG — and assume they’re safe. But ECGs often miss early disease. Cholesterol can look “normal” even when dangerous particles are high. And many people who suffer major heart events had no warning at all.

Silent disease is still disease.
It just hasn’t introduced itself yet.

What I see every week:
People who could have avoided heart problems - if someone had simply joined the dots earlier.

The worry…
The uncertainty…
The fear of “What if I miss something?”

It’s all completely preventable when you have proper screening with the right tests and the right interpretation.

❤️ The Truth About Heart Screening That Most People Never Hear
Most people I see in clinic aren’t unwell.
They’re uncertain.
They look completely healthy on the outside…
running businesses, supporting families, leading busy lives…yet inside there’s a quiet voice asking:
“What if something is happening silently inside my heart?”
It usually comes out at the end of the consultation, in a softer voice, when the formalities are over.
And it’s almost always followed by:
“My friend had a heart attack at forty… could this happen to me?”
“I’ve had tests before, but I didn’t feel reassured.”
“I just want to be here for my family.”
These fears aren’t irrational.
They’re deeply human.
But here’s the real issue:
the current heart screening system often creates more confusion than clarity.
We see “Silver, Gold, Platinum” packages that aren’t based on personalised medicine.
We see fragmented testing - ECG in one place, bloods in another, CT scan elsewhere.
And then people are handed a report without real interpretation.
A normal ECG doesn’t rule out coronary disease.
A normal echo doesn’t show the arteries.
A zero calcium score doesn’t exclude early plaque.
True clarity comes from understanding how all these pieces fit together.
And here’s the part no one talks about:
The secret isn’t the first test…
It’s the follow-up.
Heart health is dynamic.
Your risk changes as you change - with age, stress, lifestyle, and metabolism.
Follow-up allows us to see patterns, not snapshots.
And that’s where early disease reveals itself.
A modern approach to heart health is simple:
a proper consultant conversation, the right tests chosen for you, holistic interpretation, and an ongoing plan that evolves with your life.
If you’ve ever felt that quiet worry, you’re not alone.
You just need the right first step - with someone who will guide you safely and thoughtfully.

Wonderful

I’m really looking forward to hosting an online 𝐍𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐡 & 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭 session this Monday evening with Future Dreams for those living with 𝘀𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗯𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗰𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗿.

It’s a relaxed, informal hour to bring your real, everyday questions about nutrition - the things you’ve heard about, read about, been told about, or quietly worried about - as well as the practical challenges that come up when you’re managing side effects, changes in appetite or energy, or just trying to make food feel doable day-to-day.🍴

We’ll talk things through together in a way that feels supportive and practical.
No question is a silly question here.

☕️Put the kettle on and come exactly as you are - tired, curious, uncertain, hopeful, or wanting to feel a bit less on your own with it all.

Tracksuit, pyjamas, camera on or off… all completely fine.

Monday 10th November
7-8pm (online)

🫀 Why Are So Many Patients Are Misdiagnosed with Heart Valve Disease?

You can look fit, eat well, and still have a serious heart problem that’s quietly getting worse.

In this short video, Mr Inder Birdi, Consultant Cardiac Surgeon and Clinical Director of The Keyhole Heart Clinic in London, explains why heart valve disease is so often missed or misdiagnosed - and what you can do if you’re worried about symptoms like:
⚠️ Breathlessness
⚠️ Fatigue or low energy
⚠️ Feeling lightheaded or dizzy
⚠️ Palpitations or reduced fitness

Too often, these are dismissed as ageing, stress, or “just being out of shape.” But for some, they’re the first signs of a leaky or narrowed heart valve.

At The Keyhole Heart Clinic, we offer rapid, same-day assessments including ECG, echocardiogram, and consultation - so you can get answers fast.

If you’ve been told everything is fine but still don’t feel right, it might be time for a second opinion.
👉 Watch the video to learn what to look out for - and how early diagnosis could save your heart.
