# Cardiology

A large number of genes can present alterations responsible for certain heart diseases with a hereditary component, and these have become increasingly well known in recent years.

Patients with suspected cardiomyopathies (e.g., dilated or arrhythmogenic hypertrophic cardiomyopathy), as well as syndromes with arrhythmias (e.g., atrial fibrillation and Brugada and QT syndromes) may benefit from studying a gene panel including the genes involved. This is because the results may have diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic utility.

Therefore, genetic counselling before and after the study is important.

**Hereditary arrhythmia syndromes**

- Long QT syndrome
- Short QT syndrome
- Brugada syndrome
- Atrial fibrillation
- Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia

**Cardiomyopathies**

- Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
- Dilated cardiomyopathy
- Left ventricular non-compaction cardiomyopathy
- Arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy
