Webinar of Cardiac channelopathy VT/VF prevention by ANS Modulation，organized by the Asia Heart Rhythm Association (ACAS), was held online on December 23, 2022.
Inherited channelopathies are an important cause of sudden cardiac death. In the past decade, the development of molecular genetics, molecular electrophysiology, gene technology and cardiology has partly clarified the molecular pathogenesis of these diseases, and made this field the forefront of cardiovascular research.
In order to provide a comprehensive and in-depth understanding of this field, ACAS invited the renowned experts with rich experience in the basic and clinical research of cardiac channelopathy from China and Professor Kalyanam Shivkumar from Arrhythmia Center and Neurocardiology Research Center, University of California, Los Angeles, to jointly participate in the conference online to carry out discussion and experience sharing on the prevention and treatment of sudden death in channelopathies by automatic nervous system modulation.
he conference was hosted by Prof. Yan Yao from Fuwai Hospital of Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Prof. Jielin Pu of Shanghai East Hospital. Guests were Prof. Kalyanam Shivkumar from the Arrhythmia Center and the Neurocardiology Research Center of the University of California, Los Angeles, Prof. Zhe Zheng from Fuwai Hospital of Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, Prof. Lin Wu from First Hospital of Peking University, Prof. Ping Zhang of Beijing Tsinghua Changgeng Hospital, Prof. Lu Gao from Beijing Children's Hospital affiliated to Capital Medical University, and Prof. Jun Peng from Xi'an Children's Hospital. They presented a wonderful academic feast for cardiovascular doctors.
