This annual event attracts speakers and delegates from around the globe, including many of the world's leading experts on sports cardiology and young sudden cardiac death.

 

The aim of the CRY conferences 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.

 

The purpose of the conferences is to create an opportunity for all those involved in the care of athletes and young individuals in general to gain up to date knowledge 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.
