Adult Cardiovascular Genetic Counselling

Adult cardiovascular genetic counseling is a process that helps individuals understand their risk of inherited heart conditions. A genetic counselor evaluates family history and may recommend genetic testing to identify specific genetic factors linked to cardiovascular diseases. This counseling provides personalized risk assessment and informs decisions about monitoring, lifestyle changes, or preventive measures. It also supports individuals and families emotionally and helps them understand the implications of genetic findings for their health and the health of their relatives. Overall, it empowers patients with knowledge to manage their cardiovascular health effectively.
