In this program, a patient meets with a cardiologist specialized in cardiovascular genetics, and a genetic counselor. As part of the clinical care toward diagnosis and treatment planning, family history is evaluated and a physical exam is performed. Genetic testing may be offered to search for the potential genetic causes of the heart condition. If a genetic cause is identified, the team will meet again with the patient to discuss the results of the genetic testing, the potential diagnosis and management and, if necessary, will refer the patient to cardiovascular subspecialists within the program, or provide relevant information to the patient’s referring physician/cardiologist.
