"Helpful treatment and monitoring of A/F."

About: North Devon District Hospital / Cardiac Support Services

(as a service user),

I have suffered from periodic A/F over twenty years and controlled it with drugs. However, over the last two years, the specialist Cardiology Arrhythmia Clinic at North Devon District Hospital has monitored my condition and arranged for me to have a successful 'Flutter Ablation' in the Trust's Exeter Hospital, which has improved my position enormously.

The Arryhythmia clinicians, Gemma and Sarah, have been conscientious experts and helpful advisors throughout my diagnosis and treatment - so I'm hugely grateful to them for what has been a life-changing service. It is a big reassurance to know that I may contact the clinic again if there should be any further problems.

Dear Plato,

Thank you for taking the time to provide this feedback.

I am absolutely delighted to hear that you feel your condition has improved following your ablation. I am also so pleased to read your complimentary feedback on the service you have required from our Arrhythmia Specialists in North Devon. Gemma and Sarah are a huge asset to the cardiology team, and I will enjoy sharing this feedback with our wider department.
