World Heart Rhythm Week (WHRW) 2011
We would like to say a big ‘thank you’ to everyone who supported World Heart Rhythm Week, raising awareness for heart rhythm disorders and Sudden Cardiac Arrest. By organising events and displays or writing articles highlighting the importance of ‘Know your Pulse’ in the fight against Sudden Cardiac Death and other heart rhythm disorders. It is because of your help that this global event has been a great success!
Next year, WHRW 2012 will be even bigger and better and to help us to achieve that goal we kindly ask you to complete this ‘very short’ survey.
