Heart surgery is a highly specialised field requiring extensive expertise, advanced facilities and a dedicated support network.

At The Park Hospital, patients are cared for by experienced consultant cardiothoracic surgeons supported by specialist nursing teams, physiotherapists, anaesthetists and diagnostic imaging professionals. Every treatment plan is tailored to the individual's needs, ensuring they receive the most appropriate care for their condition.

Heart surgery may be recommended to treat:

  • Coronary artery disease
  • Heart valve disease
  • Aortic conditions
  • Structural heart abnormalities
  • Heart rhythm issues requiring surgical intervention
  • Congenital heart conditions in selected patients

Throughout treatment, patients remain under the care of their consultant, from their initial consultation through to surgery, recovery and follow-up appointments.

 

Our consultants offer a range of advanced cardiac procedures designed to treat heart rhythm disorders and help patients maintain a healthy, regular heartbeat. Whether you have been diagnosed with an arrhythmia, require a pacemaker, or are at risk of life-threatening heart rhythms, our experienced specialists can advise on the most appropriate treatment.

Catheter ablation

Catheter ablation is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias).

During the procedure, a specialist passes thin tubes called catheters through a blood vessel and into the heart. Heat or cold energy is then used to target and destroy the small area of heart tissue causing the abnormal electrical signals.

Catheter ablation may be recommended for conditions including:

  • Atrial fibrillation (AF)
  • Atrial flutter
  • Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT)
  • Certain ventricular arrhythmias

For many patients, catheter ablation can significantly reduce symptoms such as palpitations, dizziness and breathlessness, while reducing dependence on medication.

Internal cardiac defibrillator implantation (ICD)

An implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) is a small device placed under the skin, usually near the collarbone, to monitor and regulate potentially dangerous heart rhythms.

The device continuously monitors your heartbeat and can deliver electrical impulses or a life-saving shock if it detects a serious arrhythmia.

ICD implantation may be recommended for people who:

  • Have experienced life-threatening arrhythmias
  • Are at increased risk of sudden cardiac arrest
  • Have certain inherited heart conditions
  • Have heart failure or significant heart muscle disease

The procedure is routinely performed under local anaesthetic and sedation, allowing most patients to return home shortly afterwards.

Pacemaker implantation

A pacemaker is a small electronic device implanted beneath the skin to help regulate slow or irregular heartbeats.

The pacemaker sends gentle electrical signals to the heart when required, ensuring it continues to beat at an appropriate rate.

Pacemaker implantation may help people experiencing:

  • Bradycardia (a slow heart rate)
  • Heart block
  • Fainting caused by abnormal heart rhythms
  • Certain rhythm disturbances associated with ageing or heart disease

Pacemaker implantation is a commonly performed procedure that can dramatically improve symptoms such as fatigue, dizziness, blackouts and shortness of breath, helping patients return to their normal daily activities with confidence.

 

Choosing to undergo heart surgery can feel overwhelming, which is why our team is committed to supporting patients at every stage.

These tests help your consultant understand your condition and plan the most effective treatment.
