About
The Sudden Arrhythmia Death Syndromes (SADS) Foundation exists to save the lives and support the families of children and young adults who are genetically predisposed to sudden death due to heart rhythm abnormalities.
HISTORY
In the early 1970s, Dr. G. Michael Vincent and his associates at the LDS Hospital/University of Utah in Salt Lake City, Utah, identified and began to study and treat several families with the long QT syndrome (LQTS), a genetic cardiac disorder than can cause sudden death in young people. Dr. Vincent’s team actively expanded the family pedigrees and prospectively screened family members for LQTS. With this approach, many LQTS patients were identified. One family was particularly large and became the world’s largest single LQTS pedigree.
