Скачать или смотреть Genetic Testing for SCD-Predisposing Cardiomyopathies/Channelopathies (Michael Ackerman, MD)

This grand round will provide the current state of genetic testing for the major SCD-predisposing genetic heart diseases in the young. The attendee will gain a keen understanding of the yield of the genetic testing for the major cardiomyopathies and channelopathies as well as the impact of a positive genetic test results across the triad (diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic) of medicine.
Objectives:
1. To recognize the various faces (“phenotypes”) of sudden death predisposing cardiomyopathies and channelopathies including hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and long QT syndrome (LQTS)
2. To assess the currently available genetic tests for HCM and LQTS and evaluate their yield and their impact across the tria of medicine.
3. To interpret genetic tests and incorporate them into the practice of personalized medicine as probabilistic tests.
