Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia and occurs in around 1.5-2 per cent of the general population. It is characterised by an irregular, often very fast, heart rate.
We see thousands of arrhythmia patients per year and perform over a thousand catheter ablation procedures per year.
