Ward 27 is an Adult Cardiology Unit which specialises in providing care for patients with coronary heart disease or an abnormal heart rhythm who have had a procedure to help their condition. These procedures include:
- Coronary angioplasty (also known as percutaneous coronary intervention or PCI)
- Coronary angiogram
- Insertion of pacemakers or implantable cardioverter defibrillators
Many patients are able to go home the same day as their procedure although some do stay overnight.
The ward also sees post transplant patients every Thursday for a regular check up.
