Sports Cardiology & Sudden Cardiac Arrest in the Young

Causes | Rare Consequences | Diagnose & Manage

Keynote Speaker:

Michael J. Ackerman, MD, PhD
Professor of Medicine, Pediatrics, and Pharmacology at the Mayo Clinic College of Medicine
Director of the Long QT Syndrome/Inherited Arrhythmia Clinic and the Sudden Death Genomics
Laboratory at the Mayo Clinic

Michael J. Ackerman, M.D., Ph.D., studies genomics and genotype-phenotype relationships in heritable cardiovascular diseases predisposing to sudden death.

In the Mayo Clinic Windland Smith Rice Sudden Death Genomics Laboratory, Dr. Ackerman and his colleagues have research interests that include genomics, mutational analysis and novel gene discovery related to the cardiac channelopathies such as long QT syndrome, catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia and sudden unexplained death, including sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), and inherited sarcomere diseases such as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

In addition, as director of the Long QT Syndrome Clinic, Dr. Ackerman has active clinical and translational research efforts devoted to identifying individuals at greatest risk of sudden death. These projects include autonomic nervous system studies and overnight sleep studies.

Conference Overview:

The conference will create an opportunity for all those involved in the care of athletes and young individuals in general to gain up to date education relating to the effects of athletic training and the diagnosis and management of individuals with inherited cardiac diseases, in the hope of preventing tragic young sudden deaths in the future.

This biennial event attracts the world’s leading experts on sports cardiology and sudden cardiac death in the young.

The aim of this conference is to draw together experts in the fields of sports cardiology, inherited cardiac diseases and sudden cardiac death in the young, who will present contemporary topics and developments in their respective fields.
