Health and sports media are invited to cover the 2nd International Sports and Cardiac Arrest Australia Symposium, an essential event for medical professionals, researchers, and sports health specialists.
This three-day symposium will feature cutting-edge research, best practices, and collaborative discussions on sudden cardiac arrest in athletes and sports cardiology. Notably, in Australia, more than 26,000 people experience out-of-hospital cardiac arrests each year, with only about 10 per cent of people surviving.
Keynote speakers include:
- Professor Eloi Marijon (France) – Head of the Lancet Commission on Sudden Cardiac Death Prevention.
- Professor Michael Papadakis (UK) – President of the European Association of Preventive Cardiology.
- Rob de Castella AO, MBE (Australia) – Marathon legend and Director of the Indigenous Marathon Foundation.
This event is hosted by the Australian Sudden Cardiac Arrest Alliance (AuSCAA) in partnership with the Heart Foundation.
