Comprehensive Cardiac Arrhythmias Panel

Arrhythmia is described as any cardiac rhythm other than the normal sinus rhythm. Genetic studies have identified numerous genetic abnormalities that underpin cardiac rhythm disorders. Most arrhythmia syndromes are inherited in an autosomal dominant manner, such that first-degree family members have a 50% chance of inheriting the disorder. Identification of the causative variant in an affected individual allows for predictive genetic testing to be offered to other at risk family members.

This comprehensive panel includes genes associated with Catecholaminergic polymorphic VT, Short QT syndrome, Brugada syndrome and cardiac sodium channel disease, Long QT syndrome, Dilated and arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy, Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy, Idiopathic ventricular fibrillation, among other disorders.
