Cardiac arrhythmias - disturbances of the heart rate and rhythm
- affect thousands of Ontarians and are a common cause of
death and disability. To respond to increasing demand in our
community, the Advanced Cardiac Care Program at Trillium needs
to expand the range of cardiac care available.
Proceeds of this year’s Pro-Am will be used to support
the introduction of an Advanced Cardiac Arrhythmia Services
which includes Electrophysiology Services (EPS) to map heart
rhythms, and Internal Cardioverter Defibrillators (ICD) to
be implanted in patients’ chests to monitor heart rhythms
and correct potentially lethal arrhythmias.
Since its inception in 1993, the Pro-Am event has raised over
$1.2 million for Trillium's Cardiac Care Program. Scotiabank
is the Lead Sponsor for the 11th consecutive year, led by
Co-Chairs Bill Coyle and Ron Loveys.
