The SADS Foundation provides information to and education of medical professionals. Despite research findings and medical publications, genetic conditions that cause sudden cardiac death in the young remain largely hidden-not screened for and thus not diagnosed. As a result many children and young people continue to die each year unnecessarily. The SADS Foundation maintains an active physician education program through our network of researchers, who continually inform and train physicians to diagnose and treat Long QT, through seminars, conferences and medical journal publications. This is an important program in the fight to help prevent undiagnosed arrhythmias in families, which can result in death.
