There is a list by area in Patients Information on the AFA website.

Hi BobD I have had a quick scan of the 60 or so leaflets on the site but can’t see one relating to consultants. What is the heading on the leaflet? Thanks

[BobD Volunteer in reply to Ongreendolphinstreet]

Sorry if it has moved. Always used to be able to pull it up. Suggest you ring the office (AFA) helpline and they can sign post you.

Look at Professor Gupta at Liverpool Heart and Chest. His NHS waiting lists are very long , he also works privately

[papillone in reply to Peony4575]

Thanks Did come across his name and you are right even seeing privately one has to wait more than 6 weeks I am keep looking

[Peony4575 in reply to papillone]

I have a friend who is a cardiologist locally who refers to someone else there that he says are very good but shorter waiting lists. I have forgotten his name but will text him and get back to you

[papillone in reply to Peony4575]

Thank you

[Peony4575 in reply to papillone]

Am waiting for him to text me back

At Wythenshawe and privately Ben Brown has been a perfect consultant for me. He removed afib at a second ablation all in the mice of covid is approachable and simply a great chap

[papillone in reply to Sfhmgusa]

Thanks I will check

Can't help with a referral, but it is normal for the heart rate to increase while doing activities, even bending, lifting, etc for afib patients.

Suggest discuss with your doctor, the need for medication, and monitor your heart rate and blood pressure.

Dr Derek Todd , Liverpool Heart & chest does NHS & Private work under Toddcardiology. He is bit brusque but efficient

Look for an Electrophysiologist specifically.
