Center for Cardiac Arrest Prevention

The mission of the Center for Cardiac Arrest Prevention (CCAP) is to discover and implement novel clinical tools for prediction and prevention of sudden cardiac arrest, thereby reducing the burden of sudden cardiac death in the community. Toward this goal, the center will contribute to the scientific and medical community’s knowledge about clinical, genetic, proteomic, and other predictors of sudden cardiac arrest. The center will test prediction tools to identify individuals who would benefit from further medical screening or access to medical treatment, or devices to reduce their risk of sudden cardiac arrest. The center will implement proven, effective prediction tools in the community and/or medical setting and measure the impact of early identification and treatment.
