IHU Liryc

The RHYTHM investigators from the University of Bordeaux are based within the Electrophysiology and Heart Modeling Institute (Liryc), a research, treatment, innovation and teaching institute, wholly dedicated to the study, diagnosis and treatment of cardiac electrical disorders, headed by Professor Michel Haissaguerre.
Liryc is a medical and scientific multidisciplinary program dedicated to the understanding of cardiac electrical dysfunctions. It addresses the most prevalent arrhythmia and main risk factors for embolic stroke: atrial fibrillation (the most lethal cardiac rhythm disorder), ventricular fibrillation and electrical ventricular dyssynchrony (leading to heart failure).
Liryc gathers in a single site, a technological platform for experimental research, a technological platform for clinical research, an imaging platform and a computer sciences platform.
