SCD in athletes is a devastating event not only for the athletes themselves, their teammates, and their families, but also for the community at large. As participation in sports and exercise rapidly grows in all US demographics, clinicians need to be able to integrate evidence-based care into the evaluation and treatment of athletes that will ultimately help minimize the risks of SCD in the athletic population. In addition, effective training in and implementation of rapid resuscitation strategies—such as the use of automated external defibrillators—may help avert some SCD tragedies. The symposium will focus on educating clinicians and the athletic community about these important topics in SCD.  Click to download program agenda.
