About this Seminar
In this seminar Dr. Eckhardt will highlight some of the contemporary challenges regarding cardiac sudden death syndromes at all levels: syndrome diagnosis, determining arrhythmia mechanisms, and how to approach clinical management. The presentation will include research data on how high-through put methods for genetic variant classification can help with clinical diagnostics. She will also discuss how one of her patients inspired a pathway of research to characterize the mechanism of arrhythmia, previously unknown, that has assisted with treatment approach. And finally, the challenges of unexplained sudden death/ Idiopathic Ventricular Fibrillation (IVF) and implications for clinical management will be introduced in conjunction with some forward-looking research methodology.
