Canadian Heart Rhythm Society
- Canadian Heart Rhythm Society
The Canadian Heart Rhythm Society (CHRS) is Canada's national association of heart rhythm specialist physicians and associated allied health professionals.
In addition to public advocacy for heart conditions such as arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death (the leading cause of death in Western Society), the CHRS has assumed an international leadership role in the management of implanted device (pacemaker and implantable cardioverter defibrillator) recalls.
The Canadian Heart Rhythm Society counts some of the world's leading cardiovascular researchers in its ranks, including Dr. George Klein, Dr. Paul Dorian, Dr. George Wyse, and Dr. Stuart Connolly.
