Idiopathic ventricular fibrillation & sudden cardiac arrest

Research aim

Our research focuses on discovering causes of sudden cardiac arrest, specifically idiopathic ventricular fibrillation. By investigating unexplained cases, we aim to understand potential causes and ultimately reduce sudden cardiac death risk.
