Impediments to DNA Testing and Cascade Screening for Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy and Long QT syndrome: A Qualitative Study of Patient Experiences

2 Aug 2010

Abstract excerpt

This paper reports data from a qualitative study of patient experiences of DNA testing and cascade screening for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and long QT syndrome, cardiac conditions that place sufferers at risk of sudden death. The paper particularly focuses on potential impediments to testing and screening. Semi-structured interviews were undertaken with a purposive sample of 27 people in the UK who had...
