This session explores the rapidly evolving global landscape of sports electrophysiology, with a focus on arrhythmias in athletes and the role of exercise in cardiovascular health. Experts from around the world will examine the benefits of physical activity—including its positive effects on atrial fibrillation and overall wellness—while also addressing key issues in physiological monitoring, sports safety for individuals with cardiovascular disease, and the nuanced treatment of arrhythmias in competitive and recreational athletes. The session will also highlight global efforts in sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) prevention, with insights that extend beyond athletes to broader populations across all ages.

• Exchange knowledge between members of the Global EP community and HRS.
• Identify opportunities to improve patient care through a global lens.
• Discover similarities and occasions for collaboration between regional societies.
