"Amazing experience of the Cath Lab"

I attended Wythenshawe Hospital for a day case last September for a Cardiac Ablation Procedure to correct an SVT arrythmia.

I was extremely nervous but the Cath Lab team were incredible and reassured me, held my hand and made the whole experience much more bearable. The team in the lab even put my favourite music on for me at my request to try and soothe/ distract me!

I was lucky enough to have one of the most sought after Consultants in Electrophysiology carrying out the ablation and he was incredible, caught and ablated the arrythmia within around an hour (I think! Time was surreal in there!)

I was reassured and taken to recovery but the whole team were just amazing and I can't praise them enough.

I was discharged that evening and my Dr reassured me that there is a 95% chance I'll never have to worry about that awful rapid heartrate again.

If you are considering this procedure do it, I put it off for so long as I was terrified (I am a 40 year old female with a young family). The risks are so low and the procedure has been completely life-changing for me, I have my quality of life back and my anxiety is significantly lower.

Thank you to the whole Cath Lab team, you are real life Superheros :) x
