[Genetic testing to prevent sudden cardiac death].
Der Internist 2018 August
Successfully incorporating genetic testing into clinical practice to prevent sudden cardiac death (SCD) requires (1) appropriate recognition of an inherited cardiovascular condition, (2) identification of appropriate family members at risk and for genetic testing, (3) selection of the appropriate genetic test and information about the expected diagnostic yield, (4) understanding the complexity of result interpretation and distinct handling of incidental findings and (5) providing effective communication and medical advice regarding the genetic and medical results and implications to the patient and his family. Molecular autopsy in SCD victims will be of future importance to determine the cause of death. Interdisciplinary patient care should be provided in specialized centers with a high level of cardiogenetic expertise and is recommended to provide precise and individualized patient management.
