On behalf of the Heart program at Nicklaus Children’s hospital and Miami Children’s Health System, we are proud to present this symposium on the myriad aspects of sudden cardiac arrest in young persons.
As is often the case, this program was conceived out of the tragic death of a previously healthy young man, Fouad Mobassaleh. Although the “science” of these awful events – so commonly recited as an encyclopedic rendering of etiologies and pathophysiologies – is the stuff of many such gatherings, we plan to also engage the societal and legal aspects of this problem. In this way, we hope to help develop an annual update on the topic, alternating with a sister symposium, sponsored by Children’s Hospital of Orange County (California), which, itself, has been through its third iteration.
The course faculty was selected based upon both their expertise in the field and a track record of superb articulation of facts, concepts, and well-informed opinions. Some viewpoints will be controversial, and there is ample opportunity for dialogue with attendees built into the program. The two day course will include breakout sessions and a hands-on virtual laboratory experience for the young electrophysiologist.
In addition to the comprehensive plenary sessions, breakout sessions, debates, and keynote speakers, as well as edited versions of the video material, the registration fee for the on site meeting includes daily meals, access to the conference presentation site, access to the virtual electrophysiology laboratory, and access to an exclusive exhibit of cardiovascular products and educational materials.
