Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death worldwide and a growing health challenge in Nigeria and West Africa, driven by rising rates of hypertension, diabetes, obesity, and physical inactivity.
At Soul Place Surgery Family Medicine, we provide evidence-based cardiovascular assessment and long-term management combining risk factor identification, lifestyle intervention, pharmacological management, and referral to specialist cardiology where required.
Common Symptoms
Chest pain or tightness, especially on exertion
Shortness of breath at rest or during light activity
Palpitations or irregular heartbeat
Swelling in the legs or ankles
Fatigue disproportionate to activity level
Dizziness or near-fainting
Persistent high blood pressure
Management is guided by the specific cardiac condition identified. For coronary artery disease and hypertensive heart disease, we focus on blood pressure control, lipid optimisation, antiplatelet therapy where indicated, smoking cessation, dietary modification, and structured exercise programming.
For patients with known arrhythmias, heart failure, or valvular disease, we coordinate care with cardiologists and provide monitoring for medication titration.
When To See Us
Seek care promptly for chest pain, palpitations, severe shortness of breath, or fainting. Book routinely if you have hypertension or diabetes, a strong family history of heart disease, elevated cholesterol, or have not had a cardiovascular risk assessment.
Book an Appointment
Our team is available Mon–Fri 8am–5pm. No referral required.
A structured review of your blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar, weight, lifestyle, and family history to estimate your 10-year risk of heart attack or stroke and guide preventive treatment.
Can heart disease be prevented?
Many forms of cardiovascular disease are preventable through blood pressure control, dietary improvement, weight management, exercise, and smoking cessation.
Do I need to see a cardiologist?
Not all patients need specialist referral. Our family medicine team manages most cardiovascular risk directly, referring where specialist input is needed.
