The arrhythmia nurses work with patients who have arrhythmias (abnormal heart rhythms) or who are at risk of having arrhythmias. We are based in the Bristol Heart  Institute and work Mondays to Fridays, excluding bank holidays. We work closely with the electrophysiology team of Consultants, physiologists and nursing staff  in order to provide expert advice and information to patients on their condition, the management of that condition and the options for treatment.  We run a number of nurse-led diagnostic and follow-up clinics and regular pre-operative assessment clinics for those undergoing procedures. In addition, we run a busy telephone advice and support telephone line for current patients.

Arrhythmias Hotline for current patients - this is not an emergency helpline: 0117 3426635 or email ubh-tr.bhiarrhythmianurses@nhs.net

Pre-op assesment outpatients

Before invasive testing or investigations you will be expected to attend for pre-operative assessment. At this time you will undergo routine observations, blood tests and other simple investigations. Our pre-operative nurses will explain your planned procedure and answer any questions you may have.
