You will have a formal consultation with a healthcare professional. During this time you will be able to explain your medical history, symptoms and raise any concerns that you might have.

We will also discuss with you whether any further diagnostic tests, such as scans or blood tests, are needed. Any additional costs will be discussed before further tests are carried out.

We've tried to make your experience with us as easy and relaxed as possible.

Cardiac electrophysiology, also known as radio frequency ablation can be carried out following diagnostic electrophysiologic studies which establish the precise mechanism of the abnormal rhythm allowing precise targeting of the minor electrical abnormality in the heart. Most patients can go home four hours after the procedure.

Even after you’ve left hospital, we’re still looking after you every step of the way. After cardiac electrophysiology, typically our consultants will want to see you after your procedure to see how you are doing. ​

On rare occasions, complications following cardiac electrophysiology can occur. If you experience any of these symptoms – please call us straight away​.  

If you have any questions or concerns, we're here to help.

A fixed price for this treatment may be available on enquiry and following an initial consultation.
