Cardiac
At Morriston Hospital we have both cardiology services and cardiothoracic surgery.
If you are referred to cardiology you will be assessed and treated medically. You may have a procedure such as cardiac catheterisation or a coronary angioplasty, which widens blocked or narrowed coronary arteries.
Our cardiothoracic surgery department performs surgery on the heart, lungs and chest including bypass and open heart surgery. This can be planned in advance or done in an emergency.
New community-based clinics have also been launched to help diagnose and manage people who have Atrial Fibrillation, the most common form of an abnormal heart rhythym.
