Patient treatment options for inherited cardiac conditions
Dear Hywel Dda University Health Board,
As a patient with an inherited cardiac condition (hypertrophic cardiomyopathy) I would like to establish what centres within the health board would I be under the care of?
I.e., what hospitals have a dedicated inherited cardiac conditions team?
If they do not have a dedicated team or would not treat the condition where would patients be referred to?
Specifically, would a local hospital manage drug treatment up until the stage of surgery (septal ablation or surgical myectomy)?
If surgery is not offered where would the patient be referred to?
Yours faithfully,
David Smith
