THE Cardiology Department at University Hospital Limerick continues to improve patient services following the successful implantation of a subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD).
In what is believed to be the first procedure of its type carried out in a public hospital in Munster, 74-year-old patient Joseph O’Neill from Moyasta, County Clare, was treated in October by Dr Stephen Tuohy and team in the cath lab in UHL.
Himself a native of County Clare, Dr Tuohy has recently taken up a post as consultant cardiologist at UL Hospitals Group.
