Forward and Backward – Cardiac Arrhythmia and the Public Health
- 👤 Speaker: Professor Andrew Grace, Department of Cardiology, Papworth Hospital, and Department of Biochemistry, University of Cambridge
- 📅 Date & Time: Tuesday 24 May 2016, 13:00 - 14:00
- 📍 Venue: Thomas and Dorothy Strangeways Room, Strangeways Research Laboratory, Wort’s Causeway, Cambridge, CB1 8RN
Abstract
Atrial and ventricular fibrillation both have major impacts on the public health consuming >5% of the NHS budget through a combination of direct and indirect costs. Individual deep phenotyping combined with the study of populations at scale can together provide a robust and quantitative genomic discovery platform. Systematic, integrated basic and clinical investigation will replace our current ‘primitive’ range of options with rational, precisely calibrated approaches to patient care. The talk will review the current landscape of arrhythmia management and propose tractable routes to impact.
Series This talk is part of the Cambridge Cardiovascular Seminar Series series.
