Elizabeth Lacey, a 69-year-old from Hampshire, benefited from Pulsed Field Ablation (PFA) at St George's Hospital for atrial fibrillation. After her diagnosis following a brain haemorrhage in 2022, she underwent PFA, which uses electrical pulses to eliminate abnormal heart cells. Lacey expressed her deep trust in the medical team and praised the technology for its precision. She described her emotional recovery post-procedure and highlighted improvements in hospital efficiency, noting a 20% reduction in waiting lists due to this innovative technique.
Elizabeth Lacey expressed confidence in Dr. Li, stating, "I had the utmost confidence in Dr Li making this a success, and felt like I was in extremely good hands." This sentiment highlights the importance of trust in medical procedures.
After the PFA procedure, Elizabeth noted, "When I woke up, I cried. Not from pain, but just relief." This reflects the emotional impact and relief patients can experience following successful treatment.
Elizabeth remarked on the innovative technology, saying, "What struck me most of all was how incredible the technology is, that they can go in through your groin and get to your heart with such accuracy, using pulses instead of heat or freezing." This underscores the advancements in minimally invasive cardiac procedures.
She emphasized the effectiveness of the PFA procedure, stating, "The procedure has helped to reduce hospital waiting lists by 20% over the past three years." This showcases the broader impact of this technology on healthcare.
