Prof Scott Harding
Scott has been a cardiologist in Wellington for more than two decades. He treats coronary artery disease, including arteries that are completely blocked, with minimally invasive, catheter-based techniques. Most people go home the next day.

How we can help
How can we help
Chest pain and angina
Working out whether your symptoms are coming from your heart, and what to do about it.
Completely blocked arteries
Chronic total occlusions are often treatable by catheter, even when you’ve been told surgery is the only option.
Heavily calcified arteries
Hardened vessels that need specialist tools to open safely.
After a heart attack
Ongoing management, and treating any narrowings left behind.
Angiogram, stents and angioplasty
Diagnostic imaging from the wrist, and treatment in the same visit where appropriate.
A second opinion
If you’ve been told nothing more can be done, it’s often worth another look. Send your angiogram through.
