Information for Referring Providers

All requests for Cardiolog consultation require a referral form (available here) and a requested urgency.

​

Please include a full description of the consult request including past medical history, current medications and any relevant cardiac testing to avoid delays

​

Please note our office can not accomodate urgent consultations (less than 2 weeks) due to current demand. Any urgent referrals will need to be discussed with the Cardiologist on Call through the Kelowna General Hospital switchboard. Examples of urgent consults include:

• New onset typical, exertional chest pain requiring stress testing

• New onset heart failure

• New onset rapid atrial fibrillation (>120bpm) or symptomatic atrial fibrillation

​

Current estimated wait times are:

Semi Urgent (target < 30d ) - 1 month

Elective/Routine (target <3 months) - 7-9 months
