In March 2021 I woke up with chest pains. Having had a previous suspected heart attack, and with a history of cardiovascular disease in my family I was worried. I called 111 and they summoned an ambulance.
From there my care was quick, seamless, caring and very efficient. I was through A+E speedily and soon having a cardiogram before even the blood tests had been analysed.
I was transferred in the early evening to a bed in the Acute Cardiac Centre. The nurses were excellent.
Next morning the consultant and his team came round. They listened carefully to me. They thought it might be the less serious condition of pericarditis, and ordered further tests and examinations such as an echocardiogram and an X-ray.
By late afternoon they had made the difficult differential diagnosis of pericarditis, and I was soon discharged.
Congratulations to all concerned.
"Very good treatment at Manchester Royal Infirmary Acute Cardiac Centre"
