Approach and visits

I’m a cardiologist and I teach clinical pharmacology — the science of how medicines work and how they combine.

What happens at a cardiology visit

  1. 1

    Conversation

    About your symptoms, lifestyle, family history and the medicines you take.

  2. 2

    Examination

    Blood pressure, pulse, listening to the heart and lungs.

  3. 3

    Tests

    An ECG and other tests — if needed.

  4. 4

    Plan

    What happens next: treatment, tests and when to come back.

What to bring

  • previous ECGs, discharge summaries and reports;
  • test results — especially cholesterol and blood sugar;
  • a list of all medicines and supplements with doses — or the packs themselves;
  • your blood pressure diary, if you keep one;
  • the questions you want to ask, written down.

Frequently asked questions

What language are consultations in?

Georgian, Russian or English — whichever suits you.

Where do consultations take place?

At Caraps Medline, Digomi branch: 48 Lubliana St, Tbilisi. Please check consultation days and hours when you book.

How do I book?

Call the clinic: +995 32 251 60 60. If you have a Georgian personal ID number, you can also book online through the clinic’s portal MyHealth.

When should I call 112 instead of waiting for a visit?

If chest pain is severe and lasts more than a few minutes, or spreads to the arm, jaw or back; if you suddenly become very breathless, feel weakness in an arm or leg, one side of your face droops or your speech is affected; or if someone loses consciousness — call 112.
