Inherited Arrhythmias

Inherited arrhythmias are genetic disorders that affect the heart's electrical system, leading to irregular heartbeats. These conditions can be passed down from parents to children and may increase the risk of serious heart problems, including sudden cardiac arrest. Common inherited arrhythmias include Long QT Syndrome, Brugada Syndrome, and Familial Atrial Fibrillation. People with these conditions might experience symptoms like palpitations or fainting, but some may have no noticeable signs. Regular check-ups and genetic counseling can help manage risks and guide treatment options for affected individuals.
