I am applying for a PhD position starting in [term and year]. I read your paper "Author Correction to “Variation in Availability of Continuous Ambulatory Electrocardiographic Monitors Across Canadian Provinces [CJC Open. Volume 7, Issue 9, Pages 1157-1161.

[One or two sentences on what you did and what you learned.] I also saw your CIHR-funded project "Resynchronization for Ambulatory Heart Failure Trial in patients with Chronic Atrial Fibrillation - Pharmacological rate control vs. Pace and Ablate with Conduction System Pacing" (2024), and I would be glad to contribute to work in that direction. Are you accepting new PhD students for [term and year]? I have attached my CV and transcripts, and I would be glad to talk at a time that suits you. Thank you for your time. Kind regards, [your name]
