Cardiac services

The service provides support for cardiac patients who have complex needs and includes people who have:

  • experienced a recent myocardial infarction
  • had recent coronary artery bypass graft surgery
  • had emergency or elective percutaneous coronary intervention
  • a confirmed diagnosis of heart failure due to left ventricular systolic dysfunction (confirmed by echo or angiography)
  • an implanted cardiac defibrillator

The service is made-up of 3 teams:

  • central Cornwall
  • north and east Cornwall 
  • west Cornwall

We provide support and education for patients online, by telephone or face-to-face clinics or home visits.

The service aims to educate on diagnosis and lifestyle changes. In patients with heart failure this will include symptom management and monitoring and optimisation of heart failure medical therapy.

Cardiac rehabilitation patients can access many forms of exercise rehabilitation to support their needs. Currently this is in many platforms including:

  • face-to-face groups
  • online exercise groups
  • the myHeart App
  • personalised individual prescriptive programmes
