A thorough family history and decision-making tool in primary care can facilitate the early detection of inherited cardiac conditions, a leading cause of sudden death in those under 40.
Inherited cardiac conditions are a leading cause of sudden death in those under 40. A thorough family history taken in the primary care setting will enable early detection through cardiac screening or predictive genetic testing of at-risk family members through a prompt referral to a specialist centre. A decision-making tool is presented to help primary care practitioners with this process.
