Talk:Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute

History
In Australia, more than 10,000 people die from heart failure every year. It remains the most common cause of hospital admissions for people aged over 65, however it can affect anyone regardless of age or gender. Through heart surgery, Dr Victor Chang was able to save hundreds of lives, but he knew that research could save thousands. In his memory, the Institute has 13 laboratories across five research divisions, working with a single vision – to reduce the incidence, severity and impact of heart diseases. While its research covers all forms of heart disease, the focus is on those that affect the heart’s muscle tissue. These are the diseases that directly affect the heart’s ability to pump enough blood for the body’s needs, and can cause electrical disturbances (arrhythmias) that, in their severest form, can lead to sudden death. In addition, its programs address vital contemporary issues – including heart development and congenital heart disease, inherited heart diseases, the potential application of adult stem cell technologies in cardiovascular care, and how heart function is regulated in response to stresses like high blood pressure and aging.

What's a "fatal death"?

There are deaths which are not fatal? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 140.163.254.158 (talk) 16:33, 15 November 2018 (UTC)
