Cardiovascular genetic counseling is a rapidly advancing specialty. With advancements in genomic technologies, an increased understanding of disease mechanisms, and the benefits of genetic counseling for cardiovascular conditions, numerous opportunities exist to enhance patient care. This book covers current recommendations for a cardiovascular genetic evaluation, patient selection criteria, types of genetic tests, patient education, and counseling processes. Post-test considerations are also offered, including variant interpretation and communication strategies. Special focus is given to risk assessment for family members and psychosocial implications. Designed as an introductory guide for healthcare professionals, this book presents a genetic counseling approach to translating insights from cardiovascular genetics into practical applications.
