Sheffield Arrhythmia Centre brings together two consultant cardiologists and electrophysiologists to investigate and treat palpitations, blackouts and irregular heartbeats — for patients across Sheffield, South Yorkshire and North Derbyshire.
Palpitations and irregular heartbeats bring a great many people to their GP every year. Most causes are identifiable, and many are curable once correctly diagnosed.
Both consultants are practising NHS electrophysiologists at Sheffield Teaching Hospitals, bringing that same depth of specialist experience to private consultation.
