I write on behalf of my mother, who was very kindly referred by her cardiology consultant at UCLH to be seen by Dr Ahsan in the Department of Arrhthymia Services last November, 2017. I apologise profusely for the delay in submitting this feedback following the first consultation with Dr Ahsan on 9 November 2017, which I attended along with my mother. We were extremely impressed by, and grateful for, all aspects of the treatment and care received from Dr Ahsan. He had clearly fully digested all the earlier correspondence, ECGs etc arising out of my mother's care at UCLH. He questioned her closely on all her recent symptoms and episodes. He outlined most clearly and helpfully a range of possible hypotheses for her condition, and then put forward a series of possible diagnostic/treatment options, together with ramifications and possible theoretical risks. He listened carefully to our concerns and offered reassuring advice as to his current view and as to the way forward. He offered useful comment about my mother's current medication regime, and useful lifestyle recommendations. He kindly referred her for the fitting of an implantable loop recorder to monitor her symptoms, and he arranged for this to be carried out most promptly, in December 2017. During the November consultation, Dr Ahsan answered all our questions most fully and helpfully. He was extremely kind, sensitive and respectful in his manner towards us. He wrote an extremely detailed, helpful and reassuring follow-up letter. We are very much looking forward to my mother's follow-up consultation with him tomorrow.
