Around 300 postgraduate students of medicine, emergency medicine, anaesthesia, cardiology and physicians participated.

Thirteen panel discussions were held during the conclave highlighting the reasons for sudden cardiac death and its prevention, electrophysiological study indications, recent advances in treatment of heart failure, basics of pacemakers, etc.
