Aortopathy Genetic Counselling

Aortopathy genetic counselling focuses on understanding inherited conditions that affect the aorta, the large artery carrying blood from the heart. During counselling, a trained professional helps individuals and families assess their risk of aortopathy, which can lead to serious cardiovascular issues, like aneurysms. They review medical histories, discuss symptoms, and may suggest genetic testing to identify specific gene mutations. This information empowers families to make informed health decisions, understand potential complications, and explore management options to maintain heart health. Ultimately, the goal is to provide clarity and support in navigating these genetic conditions.
