About

Our HiRO Executive Committee oversees the four working groups.

Our HiRO Coordinating Center supports our four working groups by coordinating meetings and facilitating communication. Our coordinating center manages our HiRO website and social media accounts (@HeartsInRhythm).

Our HiRO Research Committee oversees the National HiRO Registry. This includes design, recruitment, data collection and study proposal review for the National HiRO Registry. Here you can learn more about the National HiRO registry .

Our Annual Symposium brings together clinical care teams, researchers, patients and families from across Canada. Each year we review our ongoing HiRO initiatives and relevant clinical updates and set our priorities for the coming year. The Planning Committee organizes and facilitates the annual meeting.

Our HiRO Clinical Care Committee includes genetic counselors, nurses and patient/family partners. The group works to standardize and improve delivery of care of those affected by inherited heart rhythm and cardiomyopathy conditions across provinces.

Our HiRO Active Communities Committee includes heart rhythm and sports cardiology specialists, researchers, patient/families and community advocates. Aiming to improve the safety of those at risk of sudden cardiac arrest, members of the committee collaborate with local, provincial and national government agencies and organizations.
