Key result
Genetic evaluation and family screening drive risk stratification and early intervention in inherited cardiovascular diseases.
Why the study?
A clear workflow and diagnostic criteria for patients and relatives with suspected inherited cardiovascular disease are essential for proper evaluation and management.
This review highlights the importance of specialized clinic assessment and outlines diagnostic workflows for inherited cardiovascular diseases.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
May warrant specialized clinic referral for suspected inherited CVD; leaves open prospective validation of workflows and red flags.
This review outlines the workflow for patients and relatives with suspected inherited cardiovascular disease, diagnostic criteria, inheritance patterns, and »red flags« for selected conditions. Evaluation for inherited cardiovascular disease typically includes the index patient (proband) and relatives, emphasizing the importance of assessment at specialized clinics. Most inherited cardiovascular conditions have an autosomal dominant inheritance, but other patterns are seen.
