A very productive and inspiring meeting @VictorChangInst @SVIResearch @WeareAuSCAA @thecsanz @heartfoundation
Productive exchange in Marrakech 🇲🇦 between the Lancet Commission on Sudden Cardiac Death and the leadership of the Moroccan Society of Cardiology during the 30th National Congress. An important step toward launching a structured #SuddenCardiacDeath program.

📱🚑 New research from Victoria shows survival after cardiac arrest is 37% more likely when @GoodSamApp smartphone-activated responders arrive before paramedics. Early CPR: ✅ Early defib: ✅ Lives saved: ✅ Tech + community = impact. #CallPushShock #CPR #AED

More pieces to the SCD jigsaw. We need to better understand the distinct causes and mechanisms driving SCD in populations with a known CVD, as well as the general population.
New study in JACC: Clinical EP! We found that 45% of sudden cardiac deaths occur in individuals with no prior cardiovascular diagnosis. Read here: authors.elsevier.com/a/1kZ7v… @JacobTfelt @bowinkel75 @RigsHeart
