Genetic disorders of the heart

In patients with congenital heart defects, cardiomyopathies, conduction system defects, vascular and connective tissue disorders, or a family history of cardiac diseases (especially at a younger age), a genetic cause should be considered.

Genetic diagnostics can make an important contribution to diagnosis, risk assessment and therapy.

In addition, family members can benefit from predictive testing as well as an individualized prevention and monitoring strategy.
