The planning committee recognizes the importance of continued education of providers at all levels in providing the most up to date evidence .
Objectives
- Evaluate emerging technologies and AI-driven tools for predicting and preventing sudden cardiac death (SCD), including wearable devices and computational modelin
- Analyze disparities in SCD outcomes across racial, ethnic, and gender groups, and explore strategies to improve equity in care delivery.
- Review current and upcoming clinical trials related to implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs), wearable cardiac defibrillators (WCDs), and other risk-modification therapies.
- Discuss the evolving role of resuscitation science and community engagement in improving out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) survival rates.
- Identify SCD risk factors in special populations, including athletes, cardio-oncology patients, and individuals with genetic or inflammatory cardiomyopathies.
