Virtual Healthcare Initiative Brings Cardiac Care Home for Patients with Atrial Fibrillation

Virtual Healthcare Initiative Brings Cardiac Care Home for Patients with Atrial Fibrillation

An innovative virtual healthcare initiative which was pioneered through the collaboration of University Hospital Galway (UHG), community based cardiology teams and the HIVE laboratory at the University of Galway, means patients diagnosed with atrial fibrillation can now access advanced cardiac care from the comfort of their own homes. Atrial fibrillation is a common but potentially serious heart rhythm disorder that affects 1 in 3 adults over their lifetime.
