The Arrhythmias and Family Heart Disease Unit of the Sant Joan de Déu Hospital in Barcelona is dedicated to heart rhythm disorders, sudden death and genetic cardiology. The early diagnosis of an arrhythmia radically changes the prognosis of the patient, since if the appropriate treatment is followed, it goes from being a life-threatening disease, to being a chronic disease with minimal risk. It is the reference center in Catalonia for these pathologies. For this reason, children living in the province of Tarragona with these ailments are treated in this unit, which cares for 3,500 children each year, of which almost 900 live in the regions of Tarragona. The Teaming money will be used for the operation of this unit, the acquisition of equipment and research projects.
