My husband was taken to The Heart Attack Unit on 10th December after suffering with Cardiogenic shock. Two Cardiologist actually met our ambulance at the entrance. The professional skilled team took my husband in straight away, carried out a Echocardiogram showing he needed Stents as many arteries were blocked . They had to stop during the procedure as my husband went into Atrial Fibrillation, having to return on the Friday for further stents . I just need to stress how skilled , experienced, professional everyone I. The team were , even looking after me . The Coronary Care and ward staff were excellent , trainned staff , Intesivr care and critical staff sharing and planning my husbands recovery as he had a special device to help his heart pump adequate blood supply around his heart . The unit is second to none in upto date care of .At one point the team contacted Barts Hospital for any additional treatment they could give him but were told The Team were doing exactly what Barts would have done as he was in a critical condition.Thank you all , Cardiologists, Nurses from C.C.U , Critical care and Intensive care , all staff .Thank you all for literally saving my husbands life !!! Regards . Heather
