Help to prevent and cure heart rhythm diseases
30% of cardiovascular diseases are caused by a heart rhythm disorder.
There are three heart rhythm disorders related to failures in the electrical activity of the heart: atrial fibrillation, ventricular fibrillation and heart failure.
These diseases affect millions of people worldwide, either chronically or acutely, or even immediately and fatally. Regardless of your age, you can be affected. As can your loved ones.
Heart rhythm disorders cause each year:
20 % of strokes in the world
325,000 sudden cardiac deaths in the United States
1M hospitalisations for heart failure in the United States
Regarding all those broken lives, the suffering of patients and their loved ones, it is urgent to find solutions. You can help us fight these disorders through prevention, treatment or training healthcare professionals such as:
Funding new research projects to further understanding of cardiac electrical disorders,
Purchasing new equipment to provide experts with the best technology tools available and support medical innovation,
Supporting education and training programmes to spread knowledge in more centres worldwide and to ensure all patients benefit from therapeutic advances.
"It is a real public health issue. Sudden death cause as many deaths in France as breast, lung and colon cancer combined, or 50,000 deaths per year, or 1 death every 10 minutes," according to Professor Michel Haïssaguerre, Founder and Honorary President of Liryc.
