To mark World Heart Day, IHU Liryc, a research institute unique in Europe dedicated to heart rhythm disorders, is launching a groundbreaking project: a comic book aimed at popularizing science.

A comic book to understand the heart in a different way

Science, research, and even the broader field of health can sometimes seem inaccessible. Technical terms, invisible mechanisms… it all often seems out of reach.

Yet behind this complexity lie fascinating processes that are essential to our health.

To make this knowledge more accessible and understandable, Liryc is innovating with the comic book format. It is a fun and visual tool, designed to give everyone a behind-the-scenes look at research and how the heart works.

The first panel, available today in digital format, lifts the veil on a mechanism that is as discreet as it is essential: the heart’s electrical system.

It is a true conductor, invisible to the naked eye, which sets the rhythm and coordinates each beat.

A mascot promoting science education

To accompany readers young and old, the Educoeur.org website mascot becomes the guide for this scientific adventure. Its role is to share its expertise in the form of simple explanations.

A series to follow 

This first panel marks the beginning of a series: each month, a new panel on a new topic will enrich this scientific comic strip, exploring different aspects of heart health and the research conducted at Liryc.

Discover the first panel now and come back next month to discover the new topic and continue learning through images! ⬇️
