This Summit will focus on Sudden Cardiac Death as a key topic for the global EP community.  Two sessions with panel discussions with speakers and content expert moderators will be offered.  The first session highlights the global landscape with speakers discussing the current state of SCD including data, management, resources, and gaps from each region. The second session will focus on strategies, including novel and problem-solving ideas as we work to implement change in our global approach to SCD.   

• Understand differences in approach, resources, and gaps in SCD around the globe.
• Learn strategies for addressing SCD early detection, resuscitation, and management.

• To exchange knowledge between members of the Global EP community and HRS.
