Video Summary
The video session of HRS 2025 focused on the global landscape and strategies for addressing sudden cardiac death (SCD). Chaired by Dr. Sana Al-Khatib and Dr. Christina Miyake, the summit hosted discussions from various experts representing different regions worldwide. The theme was prevention with a focus on pediatric SCD, which, unlike adults, doesn't result mainly from coronary artery disease, with genetics playing a larger role.<br /><br />Speakers highlighted how data collection challenges complicate understanding the pediatric cardiac arrest incidence. Clinical examples, like John's story of seeking answers post cardiac arrest, underscored the crucial need for standardized protocols and communication between EMS, hospitals, and especially medical examiners. <br /><br />Several innovative solutions were discussed, including an AED "Uber" app initiative in Japan that aims to improve accessibility and response times, alongside psychological and educational interventions at schools. Denmark's successful implementation of an AED network and volunteer responder program was shared as an exemplary model enhancing response effectiveness and survival rates.<br /><br />Meanwhile, experts like Dr. Cameron Desfouzian highlighted the importance of better integration and communication across specialties to improve diagnosis and secondary prevention in hospital settings. Dr. Peter Platanoff shared similar sentiments for the Swedish perspective, emphasizing the importance of familiarization among essential health services and legal frameworks to ensure better sudden cardiac death investigations.<br /><br />Dr. Elijah Bair discussed the potential of genetic testing as a diagnostic tool to identify inheritable heart conditions following an SCD. Finally, strategies for research collaboration globally using regiments of data harmonization and engagement with diverse stakeholders were presented, underlining the multifaceted approach needed to tackle SCD comprehensively. The summit concluded with the emphasis on collaboration, communication, and integrating systematic changes to reduce sudden cardiac deaths globally.
