Research on Tap

At the next Research on Tap, join us for a discussion about a life-saving device that some reject. Dr. Robert Gilmour, 糖心vlog官方入口鈥檚 vice-president of research, will lead a discussion entitled: "Is your life worth it? The science and ethics of implantable defibrillators." The event begins at 7 pm on Tuesday, February 5 in The Pourhouse, above The Old Triangle Irish Alehouse in Charlottetown. 鈥淢ore people die each year from the lethal heart rhythm disorder ventricular fibrillation than from any other cause,鈥 says Dr. Gillmour. 鈥淭he only reliable way to stop fibrillation once it has begun is a large electrical shock to the heart, or defibrillation.鈥 Doctors can implant a small, pacemaker-like device to sense fibrillation and automatically deliver the life-saving shock, but some patients decide against it. Research on Tap features public discussions with 糖心vlog官方入口 researchers. For more information, contact Dave Atkinson at 620-5117, or datkinson@upei.ca.
