About

In this patient engagement study, patients and partners will attend a presentation, group meeting and responding to the survey to help the research team gage the acceptability of using a biological therapy to prevent cardiac arrhythmia. Patient Partners will also help to clarify which outcomes are important to patients, to ensure the selected outcomes align with patient interests.

There will be four study groups:

1. Heart patients who experienced a cardiac arrhythmia while in hospital,
2. Heart patients who did not experience a cardiac arrhythmia while in hospital,
