On this page you will find links to information about a range of cardiac conditions and other information.

Each of the links opens in a new page so you will still be able to look around our website once you have clicked on a name. These links are to trusted sources from The British Heart Foundation, the Society for Cardiothoracic Surgery in Great Britain and Ireland and NHS Choices.

The information is provided to support the consultation you have with your doctor or surgeon, it is not intended that this information would replace the need for a face to face meeting. We hope you find them useful:
