Changing How We Predict, Prevent, and Treat Sudden Cardiac Arrest

Roundtable 2
September 20, 2026 | 08:50 AM (EDT) - 09:35 AM (EDT)

Sudden cardiac arrest still strikes too often without warning, and survival still depends too heavily on chance. This roundtable will examine how emerging risk markers, AI-enabled prediction, wearables, implantable technologies, genetics, and new resuscitation and defibrillation strategies could transform the pathway from late rescue to earlier prevention. Experts will debate what is ready for practice now, what remains unproven, and how precision approaches might finally change who we identify, protect, and save.
