Genetic testing of inherited arrhythmias.

Abstract excerpt

Syncope and risk of sudden death due to ventricular tachyarrhythmia are the common manifestations of several inherited disorders. Abnormalities of the genetic makeup may directly affect proteins controlling cardiac excitability in a structurally normal heart. Other diseases manifest primarily with ventricular arrhythmias even though the genetic mutations cause structural abnormalities of the myocardium. This is...
