心血管遗传学项目

的 UCSF 心血管遗传学项目 cares for patients and families with a range of hereditary heart conditions, from isolated cardiac diseases to complex genetic syndromes.

Many types of cardiovascular disease run in families, 它们相对来说很常见, affecting more than 1% of the population. Recognizing and diagnosing these conditions can be challenging, so it's important to be evaluated by experienced specialists.

我们的团队 includes experts from many fields, 包括心脏病学, 电生理学, 遗传学, cardiac pathology and medical imaging. All our care providers have advanced training in cardiovascular genetic disease.

在我们的诊所, we identify signs and symptoms of inherited heart disease, arrange for appropriate cardiac and genetic testing, 确定诊断, and provide individually tailored treatment plans. We also address the complex psychological responses and familial implications that being diagnosed with a genetic heart disorder can bring.

When appropriate, we collaborate with colleagues at UCSF's 儿童心脏中心 to provide care for family members of all ages and address the particular issues surrounding genetic heart disease that arise in the course of a lifetime.

病人 who receive heart care outside of UCSF are welcome to seek cardiovascular genetic counseling and genetic testing at our clinic.
