Video Summary

The CARDI-EP Society Meeting kicked off in San Diego with "Horizons 2025," the annual gathering's 46th session. Attendees accessed live Q&A via the HRS mobile app, following specific guidelines for audiovisual content. Glenn's presentation highlighted a shift in membership dynamics, with numbers rebounding post-COVID due to increased trainee and fellow sign-ups. Financial struggles remain, with yearly losses attributed to dwindling industry support and static membership dues, prompting potential increases. Bylaws amendments were proposed, including formalizing meeting collaboration changes and adding new officer roles, which attendees voted to approve. New officer elections saw positions filled without contest.<br /><br />Dan Roden's lecture focused on a precision electrophysiology pathway, interweaving genomic research and clinical practice. Roden discussed whole genome sequencing within biobanks, analyzing electrocardiographic intervals, and their vast potential in personalized medicine. The presentation delved into IPS cell research on the QT interval, revealing new insights into arrhythmia susceptibility. Vanderbilt's Atrial Fibrillation Precision Medicine Clinic was introduced, emphasizing genetic testing's role in treatment personalization. Roden highlighted the challenge of classifying Variants of Uncertain Significance (VUSs) in genetic data, underscoring a need for functional data to address this. He expressed aspirations for pharmacogenomic integration into patient care, despite current logistical hurdles. The talk concluded with a call for further interaction between genetic research and clinical application to realize precision medicine's full potential.
