International Symposium on Pediatric Inherited Cardiac Disorders
Bruped Networking Event
Management and update of Brugada Syndrome in paediatrics.
When every heartbeat matters
An advanced, practice-oriented update on emerging therapies and ultra-rare inherited arrhythmia syndromes (IAS), with a special focus on paediatric Brugada syndrome. The program combines state-of-the-art lectures, real-world case discussions, artificial intelligence, remote monitoring, multidisciplinary expert panels, and hands-on arrhythmia simulation sessions.
Building the future of paediatric Brugada Syndrome
The first European networking event dedicated to paediatric Brugada syndrome, bringing together clinicians, researchers, geneticists, data scientists, nurses, patient representatives, and early-career professionals. The program combines state-of-the-art lectures, multidisciplinary expert panels, collaborative networking, and hands-on workshops in electrocardiogram interpretation and paediatric electrophysiology, while laying the foundations of the European BRUPED Registry and the BRUPED-RISK precision medicine initiative.
After completing the course you will be able to:
- Improve diagnosis and clinical management of IAS.
- Refine risk stratification and decisions.
- Apply AI and remote monitoring.
- Integrate genetics and precision medicine.
- Strengthen multidisciplinary care.
