This review summarizes the clinical characteristics, genetic basis, and role of genetic testing in inheritable cardiac channelopathies.
Aids recognition of channelopathies; leaves open prospective validation of genetic testing utility.
Cardiac channelopathies are linked to an increased risk of ventricular arrhythmia and sudden death. This article reviews the clinical characteristics and genetic basis of common cardiac ion-channel diseases, highlights some genotype-phenotype correlations, and summarizes genetic testing for inheritable cardiac channelopathies.
