Heart rhythm checks at Ipswich Hospital

Ipswich Hospital is taking part in a pilot project to check the heart rhythm of people who are at a higher risk of developing atrial fibrillation (AF). The aim is to identify cases of undiagnosed AF so that treatment can begin, in turn reducing people’s chances of developing complications.

We have contacted patients who are at a higher risk of AF to see whether they would like to take part in the trial. If you have received an invitation, you will have been asked to visit this webpage for further information. Here you will find:
