Cardiovascular Genetics Service

Synonym(s):

The NHCS Cardiovascular Genetics (CVG) service provides care for patients and their families who have been diagnosed, or are suspected to have, an inherited cardiac condition. 

The service offers a comprehensive genetic screening process comprising pre-test counselling, interpretation of the genetic test and follow-up, including screening of close and extended family, as part of the early diagnosis plan.

The CVG service sees the following types of patients:

  • Individuals with a family history of an inherited cardiac condition, sudden death, and/or a known causative genetic variant;
  • Individuals with an established clinical diagnosis who would like to understand why they developed a cardiac condition and/or the risk to family members or future children; and
  • Individuals whose aetiology and associated cardiac condition is not clear
