Treatment options
When deciding what treatment to have for your heart condition it is important to remember that no treatment is without risk associated with it. When doctors are advising on treatment, we are trying help you assess what is the best option for you based on the risks and benefits of each therapy.
Doctors are trying to predict how things may turn out for you based on statistics, research and their experience of other patients but inevitably we will not always get it right. The more patients we see with different heart conditions and the more research we do, the better our advice is likely to be.
Please ask your medical team as many questions as you want as it is important that you and your family fully understand what is happening, why it is happening and what the options are.
