This Friday, June 26th, at 1:20 PM CST, Dr. Charlie Berul will join Dr. Ackerman for a special Facebook Live Q&A session about implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) and device therapy! If you've ever wanted to know what an ICD is or how one works, here's your chance to ask the experts!

Dr. Berul is the division chief of Cardiology and co-director of the Children's National Heart Insitute at Children's National Hospital. He has over 150 publications in pediatric cardiology and is an acknowledged expert in the area of pediatric cardiac electrophysiology.
