A prominent cardiologist who grew up in BC has come home from Ontario to take on a key role at Vancouver General Hospital.
Doctor Andrew Krahn has been appointed the Head of Cardiology at the UBC Faculty of Medicine as well as the VGH pacemaker clinic.
His specialty is treating patients by implanting heart rhythm devices.
"Much of this has started and is underway and it has its grassroots reputation, but i believe we can do much better and that's why I'm here, is to try and help to light that match to take us to the next level"
He plans to create a BC wide network of clinics to treat up to seven thousand patients.
