Malcolm Finlay: Packed Lunch - Heart at Wellcome Collection

Feed your curiosity at these daytime discussions. Drop in to hear local scientists in conversation about their latest experiments, life in the lab and why science matters to everyone, all in the space of your lunch hour. Bring your sarnies with you to eat while you listen. Can you die of a broken heart? Perhaps not, but heart attacks have been known to be triggered by intense emotion and mental stress. Malcolm Finlay, Senior Clinical Research Fellow at UCL, is investigating the electrical and physiological mechanisms behind this phenomenon. He hopes that an increased understanding will help to identify those most at risk - whether from emotional stress or the strain of competitive sports - and reduce their chance of sudden death.
