尊敬的来自五湖四海的各位同道：

真诚的欢迎你们参加‘国际心脏猝死网上论坛’。这 
种应用最现代的电子科技载体进行的，可以全世界同 
道共享的网上会议拥有着无穷的魅力，也充满着挑 
战。由国际动态心电图与无创心电学会（ISHNE）发起 
的远程继续教育活动已经不是第一次了。我很荣幸能 
够受邀担任这一学术活动的主席，并在此宣布‘国际 
心脏猝死网上论坛’开幕。

我们希望，这次会议由心脏猝死领域的各位杰出专家 
发布的内容，以及各个重要的、适时地讨论主题能够 
满足各位同道的需求。

讲座、专访、广播、临床病例报告以及网上论坛的互 
动讨论是构成本次会议的精华。您可以从中学习到心 
脏猝死领域最重要几个方向的最新进展。大家知道， 
心脏猝死是现代社会的一个严峻的挑战。因此，与心 
脏猝死相关的主题，包括流行病学、病原学、临床 
学、发病机制、危险因子、病理学、遗传学、预防医 
学，以及相应的药物、器械、消融以及外科治疗均将 
涵盖于本次论坛之中。

为在各个国际的行业组织中建立永久性的科学联系， 
并且能够以更丰富的形式进行交流。我们努力使得本 
次论坛的主要内容均以五种语言来发布：英语、西班 
牙语、葡萄牙语、俄语和中文。

鉴于本次论坛的高质量，我们将为所有参加者提供获 
得继续教育学分的机会（CME credits）。能够获得这些 
学分是衡量参会者是否获益，也是评价本次论坛质量 
的重要象征。

本次会议有51位主席团成员，包括20位国际专家。他 
们将为本次论坛的各个方面提供宝贵的支持。在此我 
对他们的付出表示衷心的感谢。这里我还要感谢美敦 
力公司对本次学术活动的大力支持。尤其要感谢的是 
美敦力公司的经理Ross Meisner和Hugo Faggioli两位先生， 
他们能够对本次会议的深远意义予以充分的理解，而 
且从初期的筹备阶段就开始不遗余力的对本次活动予 
以支持。

这已经不是我们第一次组织这种网上会议了，我们对 
应用这种新型媒体来传播知识的功效有着充分的体会 
与自信。

在经过对本次论坛的简要介绍后，现在我正式宣 
布‘国际心脏猝死网上论坛’开幕！

在此，我诚挚的邀请各位与我们共同学习、交流，一 
道度过这一个月的美好时光。



此致


敬礼

To all our colleagues from more than 100 countries who are  
participating in this World Wide Internet Symposium on Sudden Cardiac  
Death, we WELCOME YOU! I am pleased and honored to chair this  
fascinating and challenging topic using the most modern electronic  
approach to reach a world wide audience.  Once again we begin this  
academic activity within the framework of the Activity of Continuing  
and Distance Medical Education of ISHNE.

We hope that the high level of the presentation given by outstanding  
world authorities in the field of sudden cardiac death (SCD), as well  
as by the  importance and timeliness of the topics addressed, will  
meet your expectations.

Written lectures, interviews, webcasts, presentation of clinical  
cases, and the possibility of interacting through discussion Forums,  
will constitute the essence of this Symposium as we present an update  
on the most important topics in the area of SCD.  As you are aware,  
SCD remains a major challenge in today’s modern society. Thus,  
topics related to Epidemiology, Etiology, Clinics, Mechanisms, Risk  
Factors, Pathology, Genetics, Prevention and Management including  
pharmacological, devices, ablation, and surgery constitute the topics  
to be covered in this complex area.

Because establishing permanent scientific links within the  
international community as well as being able to communicate in a  
more comprehensive fashion, we will offer the opportunity of choosing  
most activities in five languages –English, Spanish, Portuguese,  
Russian, and Chinese.

Recognizing the high quality of this Symposium, we offer the option  
for participants to obtain Continuing Medical Education credits (CME  
credits). Obtaining such credits is the best way for viewers to  
achieve a personal evaluation, as well as to evaluate the Symposium  
in general.

Forty-one members of our faculty, along with 20 experts from all over  
the world, will provide their contributions to the different thematic  
areas. We express our thanks to all of them.

We also want to thank Medtronic as the official sponsor of the  
meeting and especially the Medtronic managers, Ross Meisner and Hugo  
Faggioli, because they readily understood the importance of this  
project and supported it from the beginning.

Once again, by organizing this meeting through the Internet, we are  
expressing our confidence in the immense power of this medium as a  
tool to transmit knowledge.

With these brief introductory comments I now declare that the  
activities of this World Symposium are open.

Now, I invite you go forth to learn!
