Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Identification of mutations in cardiac ion channel genes concurs to the diagnosis of long-QT syndrome, Brugada syndrome, and catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia. However, because availability of genetic screening is still limited and reimbursement policies are lacking, there is a need of evidence-based criteria to prioritize access to genetic testing for these diseases. METHODS AND...
