Canadian Arrhythmia Network to Host First Scientific Conference
(London, ON): The Canadian Arrhythmia Network (CANet) is thrilled to be hosting its inaugural 2015 Scientific Conference on September 16-17, 2015 at the Concorde Hotel in the beautiful and historic, Québec City. CANet will be investing $26 million in research and development programs over the next five years and is bringing together the best and brightest heart rhythm disturbance clinicians and researchers in health, engineering and social sciences from across Canada.
“In Canada, sudden cardiac death is still the number one cause of death — even more so than cancers,” said Dr. Anthony Tang, CEO and Scientific Director at CANet. “This conference will bring our network of over 100 investigators and our partners together for the first time to share ideas, discuss new technological innovations and patient engagement strategies to develop and evaluate new heart rhythm therapies.”
Conference participants will have the opportunity to network with other researchers in a variety of disciplines, interact with CANet government and industry partners and learn more about the robust research funding programs.
This network is a flourishing heart rhythm research community who are making an impact on arrhythmia health in Canada. The network focuses exclusively on heart rhythm health and is geared towards solutions-driven researchers in engineering, social sciences and medicine.
