Sudden Cardiac Arrest

Sudden cardiac arrest remains a leading cause of mortality worldwide and a defining acute cardiovascular emergency. Sessions cover community AED programmes and bystander activation, in-hospital and out-of-hospital cardiac arrest care, targeted temperature management, post-arrest neurological and cardiovascular optimisation, ECMO-CPR, ICD primary and secondary prevention, and the genetic work-up of unexplained arrest. Discussion includes equity in AED access and family-screening pathways.
