Cardiac Geneticists

Cardiac geneticists are medical doctors who specialize in diagnosing and treating heart-related genetic conditions. They study how genes and inherited traits affect the heart's health and function. When patients have a family history of heart disease or congenital heart defects, a cardiac geneticist can perform genetic testing and provide insights about risks, management, and preventive measures. They work closely with other healthcare professionals to develop personalized care plans for patients, especially those with hereditary heart issues. Their goal is to improve patient outcomes through early detection and tailored therapies based on genetic information.
