Medicine and Me: Young sudden cardiac death

Medicine and Me meetings aim to provide an outline of current best practice and future updates for important conditions. They give a direct voice to patients and carers, enabling them to discuss their concerns and reflections on the impact of diagnosis, investigation and management. Physicians, surgeons and indeed all healthcare professionals continue to learn from and be inspired to improve care by hearing directly from patients.

In the UK alone, 12 seemingly healthy people under the age of 35 die from undiagnosed cardiac conditions every week, otherwise known as young sudden cardiac death.

Join us for an event, run in association with the charity Cardiac Risk in the Young, to learn about the latest developments in our understanding of the causes and prevention of young sudden cardiac death, and how to ensure the best quality of life for those living with diagnosed cardiac conditions.

Participants will have the opportunity to hear from some of the world’s leading experts in inherited cardiac conditions and ask questions about their experiences providing support and dealing with affected families.

Attend this event to gain an understanding of:

• The causes and prevention of young sudden cardiac death
• Methods for early identification of high-risk individuals
• Providing optimal care for patients with diagnosed cardiac conditions
• How to manage and support affected families
• Areas where further research is needed
