Workshop Description: This is proposed Part 2 of a 3 part half-day workshop series on pediatric and congenital electrophysiology. Part 2 of this series will focus on risk management in children and in patients with congenital heart disease.

The first session will be titled "What to do with asymptomatic preexcitation”. This session will review the risk of a sudden cardiac event in asymptomatic preexcitation in children, the latest data regarding the yield of non-invasive and invasive risk stratification, and current recommendations regarding risk stratification and ablation in the setting of asymptomatic preexcitation in children. This talk will be 20 minutes in duration and will start and conclude with a case presentation. The session will also include live audience polling.

The second talk in the session is titled " What's the risk? Updates on sudden death prediction in pediatrics and congenital heart disease”. This session will provide the audience with a review of new risk stratification algorithms and calculators developed for children and patients with congenital heart disease. The limitations of using calculators for risk prediction in non-congenital heart disease in children (including cardiomyopathy) will be discussed. This talk will be 20 minutes in duration and will start and conclude with a case presentation. The session will also include live audience polling.
The session will conclude with a 15-18 minute question and answer session and panel discussion with the two moderators and two speakers as members of the panel during which the audience can interact with the speakers.
