Planning your care
Ask the treating service for a written plan. Appointment numbers and time away depend on the procedure, results and individual needs.
- Which heart or vascular investigations are needed before the team can recommend care?
- Ask separately about the intervention, monitoring in hospital, device checks and rehabilitation appointments.
- Request a written medication and follow-up plan, including who confirms fitness to travel.
