Welcome to the SADS Foundation.
Established on December 12, 1991 by Dr. Michael Vincent, The SADS Foundation is a community of families, medical professionals, and supporters saving lives and advancing care for people with heart arrhythmia conditions that can lead to sudden death.

SADS Research Survey
We’re working with companies who are almost ready to recruit participants for first-of-their-kind clinical trials for new therapies. Take our ten-minute survey to help us learn more about you so we can help connect you to research studies you might be eligible to participate in.

Living with SADS Webinars
Join our top experts who will share their knowledge and advice on topics important to living and thriving with a SADS condition.

Your Voice Matters!
We’re bringing the ARVC patient community together for a first ever EL-PFDD. It’s critical for our ARVC community to participate in the meeting in an effort to show strength in numbers.

National CPR & AED Awareness Week
Each year, we dedicate the first week of June to raising awareness about the importance of knowing what to do if someone around you goes into cardiac arrest.
