Management of Inherited Arrhythmia Syndromes: A HiRO Consensus Handbook on Process of Care.
CJC open. 2023 April
Inherited arrhythmia syndromes are rare genetic conditions that predispose seemingly healthy individuals to sudden cardiac arrest and death. The Hearts in Rhythm Organization is a multidisciplinary Canadian network of clinicians, researchers, patients, and families that aims to improve care for patients and families with inherited cardiac conditions, focused on those that confer predisposition to arrhythmia and sudden cardiac arrest and/or death. The field is rapidly evolving as research discoveries increase. A streamlined, practical guide for providers to diagnose and follow pediatric and adult patients with inherited cardiac conditions represents a useful tool to improve health system utilization, clinical management, and research related to these conditions. This review provides consensus care pathways for 7 conditions, including the 4 most common inherited cardiac conditions that confer predisposition to arrhythmia, with scenarios to guide investigation, diagnosis, risk stratification, and management. These conditions include Brugada syndrome, long QT syndrome, arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy and related arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathies, and catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia. In addition, an approach to investigating and managing sudden cardiac arrest, sudden unexpected death, and first-degree family members of affected individuals is provided. Referral to specialized cardiogenetic clinics should be considered in most cases. The intention of this review is to offer a framework for the process of care that is useful for both experts and nonexperts, and related allied disciplines such as hospital management, diagnostic services, coroners, and pathologists, in order to provide high-quality, multidisciplinary, standardized care.
