Explore a comprehensive overview of cardiovascular genetics in this 54-minute webinar designed for genetic counselors and genetics professionals. Delve into the anatomy and functions of the heart before focusing on four major categories of cardiovascular genetics: inherited arrhythmias, cardiomyopathies, familial aneurysms, and familial hypercholesterolemia. Gain insights into disease characteristics, genetic testing procedures, and family history red flags for each category. Discover unique aspects of cardiovascular genetic counseling sessions, including important resources for counseling and testing. Learn about the multidisciplinary team approach in cardiovascular genetic medicine, special considerations in counseling and testing, and the clinical utility of genetic evaluations. Access guidelines, additional resources, and information on disorders with available genetic testing to enhance your understanding of this dynamic field.
