Drug Safety: Ameliorating the Risk for Sudden Cardiac Death
(VTC)
Gail Robertson, PhD
Professor of Neuroscience
University of Wisconsin - Madison
Madison, Wisconsin
A public lecture in the Distinguished Scholars Series
Every day, sudden cardiac death unexpectedly claims lives because of adverse drug reactions, inherited conditions, and environmental influences. Often, those lost are very young and seemingly healthy individuals. Dr. Robertson's lecture will review the science of arrhythmias causing sudden cardiac death, how they can be triggered by drugs, and how academic scientists, pharmaceutical industry safety experts and federal officials work together to ensure the ongoing development of new and safe drugs.
