Cardiovascular cascade genetic testing is highlighted as an essential component of good medical care rather than just a research tool.
counseling, cascade screening, cascade testing, genetic testingCascade screening is one of the more forceful demonstrations that molecular biology and genetics are not just a tool for researchers, but represent an important and by now essential component of good medical care.-Peter J.

Amy C. Sturm (2016) conducted an editorial in Heritable cardiovascular conditions (e.g., familial hypercholesterolemia, long QT syndrome, inherited arrhythmias, cardiomyopathies). Direct contact and web-based technology in cardiovascular cascade genetic testing vs. Proband-mediated contact was evaluated. Direct contact of at-risk relatives by clinical services and web-based genetic counseling technologies may improve cascade genetic testing uptake for heritable cardiovascular conditions.
