Liryc Heart Rhythm Disease Institute

Heart Rhythm Diseases: Over 50 million people affected worldwide

Atrial fibrillation, sudden death, heart failure—these heart rhythm diseases, whether chronic or acute, and sometimes silent, can affect anyone at any age. They lead to serious complications and cause hundreds of thousands of deaths each year. Thanks to our research, improved screening for at-risk individuals and new treatments will help protect the health and lives of more patients in the future.Bringing together national and international expertise from many disciplines within a single institute, Liryc is committed to advancing medicine and providing better care for patients with heart rhythm disorders.

Bringing innovative and personalized therapies to life:

Liryc teams aim to develop innovative technologies for diagnosing and treating heart rhythm disorders. Liryc, through its unique multidisciplinary and international infrastructure, promotes collaboration between research teams, clinical teams and economic players, which enables the emergence of innovative projects to invent diagnostic tools, cutting-edge medical devices, and therapies of the future.

Why support Liryc?

Heart rhythm disorders are responsible for 30% of cardiovascular diseases. These disorders—such as atrial fibrillation, ventricular fibrillation, and heart failure—stem from electrical failures in the heart and affect millions globally. Whether chronic, acute, or immediately fatal, these conditions do not discriminate by age and could affect anyone, including you or your loved ones. Heart rhythm disorders result in:

• 20% of all strokes worldwide,
• 325,000 sudden cardiac deaths annually in the United States, 90% of which are fatal,
• 1 million hospitalizations for heart failure each year in the United States.

Donate to advance cardiology research:

The devastating toll on lives makes finding solutions urgent. Your support allows us to combat heart rhythm disorders by improving prevention, treatments, and training for healthcare professionals. Donations help:

• Fund new research projects to better understand cardiac electrical disorders,
• Purchase state-of-the-art equipment to provide experts with the best technology available to drive medical innovation,
• Support education and training programs to spread knowledge to more healthcare centers worldwide, ensuring patients benefit from the latest advances in treatment.

As Professor Michel Haïssaguerre, Founder and Honorary President of Liryc, explains:
"Sudden death causes as many deaths in France as breast, lung, and colon cancer combined—50,000 deaths per year, or one death every 10 minutes."
