Just a friendly reminder that our Let’s Talk SADS Live Episode 25 is happening Tuesday November 19th at 12 PM EST!

Join us as Dr. Michael Fridman teaches us about the importance of research and how it can be a source of hope for patients. Dr. Michael Fridman is an attending Pediatric Cardiologist and Electrophysiologist at the Alberta Children’s Hospital in Calgary, Alberta. After completing his medical school training, he completed a residency in general pediatrics followed by fellowships in both pediatric cardiology and pediatric cardiac electrophysiology at the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto, Ontario. It was during this time where he developed clinical and research interests in electrophysiology, especially in the realm of inherited arrhythmias – genetic disorders with increased risk of heart rhythm disturbances and sudden death. He is actively involved with the Canadian Heart Rhythm Society, the Hearts in Rhythm Organization (HiRO), and is on the medical advisory board for the Canadian SADS Foundation.
