"Unsuccessful cardioversion"

If you are unfortunate enough to have a cardioversion at this hospital, please bear in mind that if it does not work and you go back into atrial fibrillation, you will spend months phoning the cardiology department.

Your calls will rarely be answered, nor will any answerphone messages you leave.

My cardioversion failed on 13th December 2018, and I waited from then till the end of April 2019 to find out what would happen next. I was diagnosed originally with heart failure but this has never been followed up. I have given up waiting and am now under a different hospital.

My complaints to the consultant, PALS and the Trust itself have not been answered.

I must add that the actual cardioversion unit led was excellent.

It is the aftercare that has failed me badly.
