At the next Research on Tap, join us for a discussion about a life-saving device that some reject. Dr. Robert Gilmour, 秀色短视频鈥檚 vice-president of research will lead a discussion entitled: "Is your life worth it? The science and ethics of implantable defibrillators." 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. The discussion begins at 7 pm on Tuesday, February 5 in The Pourhouse, above The Old Triangle Irish Alehouse in Charlottetown. Research on Tap features public discussions with 秀色短视频 researchers.
