I recently saw Dr. Francesco Lo Monaco after experiencing chest pain and worrying it could be heart-related. He was attentive, thorough and highly efficient, quickly reassuring me through the appropriate tests that my heart was healthy and the pain was not cardiac-related. I would highly recommend him. A special mention also goes to Alessandra, his assistant, who is an absolute gem. She was incredibly efficient, responsive and kept me informed throughout the entire process. An excellent team and a very reassuring experience from start to finish.

I went to see Dr Lo Monaco after having an unsatisfactory appointment with a different cardiologist, I cannot recommend Dr Lo Monaco enough, his attention to detail was unparalleled and he took the time to go into my history and ensure that he had every detail of my health covered, he was very very pleasant, calm, reassuring and made sure I had a comprehensive and detailed picture of my heart health, I cannot stress enough that no matter how unsure you are about your heart health, this is definitely the place to go, it was comforting to know that any worries I had, no matter how slight or great, they were all met with the same high level of attention, I feel so much more relaxed about my heart health after my appointments with Dr Lo Monaco, he is an absolute gentleman and a shining example of what the medical profession should be

I cannot recommend Dr. Francesco Lo Monaco highly enough. From my initial consultation regarding concerning chest pain, his level of care, professionalism, and expertise were truly outstanding. What immediately sets Dr. Lo Monaco apart is his incredible attention to detail and active listening. During our meeting, he asked all the right questions and took note of every single detail of my medical history and symptoms without missing a single thing. He made me feel completely heard and valued as a patient. When it came to investigating my chest pain, his approach was methodical, targeted, and refreshingly ethical. Rather than ordering a blanket of unnecessary procedures that would only drive up costs, he carefully selected the exact diagnostics needed for an accurate diagnosis. His care was seamless across both The Clementine Churchill Hospital and The National Heart Clinic on Harley Street, where I underwent an ECG, an angiogram, a 72-hour heart monitor, and stress tests. Throughout the testing process, Dr. Lo Monaco explained every procedure clearly, ensuring I felt completely at ease. He is deeply personal, deeply caring, and represents the absolute gold standard of what a consultant cardiologist should be: brilliant clinically, transparent with costs, and wholly dedicated to his patients' well-being. If you are looking for a top-tier heart specialist in London, look no further.

The most positive experience with Dr Francesco Lo Monaco and team. Punctual and flexible call hours, extremely astute and efficient learn health history, cover/test a very wide range of variables related, and confident/ making me confident in the diagnosis. All of which was accomplished within a short period (some of which was done remotely as well). Equally, Dr Francesco Lo Monaco‘s team of doctors and nurses were professional, knew exactly what they were doing and polite/welcoming the whole time. My most “heart” felt thank you to the Doc and team, and can only offer my highest recommendations!

I simply cannot put into words how grateful I am for Dr Lo Monaco. When I was worried and unsure about my heart health and DCB procedure, he didn’t just treat my condition he truly cared for me. He listens with such kindness, explains everything until I understood, and gave me the courage and reassurance I so desperately needed. His skill, patience and gentle nature have made such a huge difference to my recovery and my life. He is not just an outstanding doctor, but a truly wonderful human being. I feel blessed to be under his care , thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Dr. LoMonaco is an exceptionally caring, attentive, and knowledgeable cardiologist. From my very first appointment, I felt truly listened to and cared for. He takes the time to explain medical terms and treatment options clearly and patiently, which makes a real difference. His team is equally kind, responsive, and attentive to every detail. I feel incredibly fortunate to have found Dr. LoMonaco and would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for a cardiologist who combines outstanding expertise with genuine compassion.

WHAT IS CAROTID DOPPLER?

A Carotid Doppler Ultrasound is a non-invasive imaging test used to examine the arteries in the neck to detect plaque, arterial blockage, or Coronary Artery Disease. This scan helps determine the risk of stroke in early stages and devise preventive measures.

HOW IS A CAROTID SCAN PERFORMED?

The Carotid Doppler USG is a completely safe and painless test that uses high-frequency sound waves to examine blood flow through the Carotid arteries. The sonographer applies a small amount of gel to the ultrasound probe and gently moves the probe across the neck to capture detailed images. The device records the ultrasound signals and produces clear visuals of the arteries and any blood-flow abnormalities in real time.

WHY IS A CAROTID ARTERY DOPPLER DONE?

A Carotid Doppler Ultrasound Scan is performed to detect changes in normal blood flow through the Carotid arteries. It helps identify the cardiac issues early before they cause complications such as:

  • Narrowing or Blockages in the Neck Arteries

    Carotid Dopplers identify any narrowing or obstruction in the arteries, helping spot changes that restrict the normal blood flow to the brain.
  • Plaque Build-Up

    This Doppler scan shows fatty deposits along the carotid artery walls, helping detect plaque that can increase the risk of stroke.
  • Blood Flow Abnormalities

    The Carotid Doppler Scan evaluates the passage of blood to detect any turbulence or reduced flow that may signal underlying cardiovascular issues.
  • Stroke

    A constant narrowing or plaque build-up in the arteries of the neck can significantly raise the risk of stroke or other circulatory system complications.

FAQs

Private carotid Doppler scans are available through Dr Francesco Lo Monaco’s private cardiology service at 69 Harley Street, London, W1G 8QW. The scan uses ultrasound to assess blood flow through the carotid arteries and can help identify narrowing or other changes that may increase the risk of stroke.

The arteries in the neck that supply oxygen-rich blood to your brain are known as the Carotid arteries.

Carotid artery disease often shows no symptoms until it becomes serious enough to reduce blood supply to the brain. Common signs include chest pain, blurred vision, fatigue, dizziness, unexplained weakness, difficulty speaking, and symptoms of a Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA).

A Carotid artery test is non-invasive and does not cause dizziness. However, symptoms that arise during the test usually relate to some underlying conditions.

A private Carotid Doppler scan usually costs between £250 to £400 in London, depending on the clinic facilities and reporting. 

A positive result indicates reduced blood flow or narrowing, and your clinician will recommend further tests or treatment based on severity.

Mild blockage can be managed with medicines; however, if the blockage is very complicated, your cardiologist may suggest Carotid angioplasty or stenting.
