Advances in molecular biology and genetics have fundamentally changed the understanding and management of inherited cardiac diseases, making genetic testing and counseling essential competencies for cardiologists.
In recent decades, advances in molecular biology have led to a change in understanding the inheritance mechanisms and development of cardiological diseases of predominantly genetic origin, such as hypertrophic and dilated cardiomyopathies, familial hypercholesterolemia, etc. This knowledge made it possible to develop fundamentally new drug interventions. Programs for detecting cardiac diseases of predominantly genetic origin have been created, including genetic counseling and testing. Competence in this area is becoming a necessary part of a cardiologist's job.

Zateyshchikov et al. (2022) conducted a review in Cardiovascular diseases of genetic origin (hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, dilated cardiomyopathy, familial hypercholesterolemia). Genetic testing and counseling was evaluated. Advances in molecular biology have transformed the understanding of cardiovascular diseases of genetic origin, making genetic testing and counseling a necessary part of cardiology practice.
