Conditions Treated
Our Approach to Identifying Genetic Heart Disease
Inherited cardiovascular diseases are conditions that run in families and affect various portions of the heart, including the heart muscle, the electrical system, the blood vessels, or cholesterol and lipid levels. These genetic diseases are often rare and may go undiagnosed unless you receive care from a cardiology team that specializes in these conditions.
The Stanford Center for Inherited Cardiovascular Disease offers the comprehensive care you and your family need. Leading specialists in cardiology, genetics, and nursing offer expert interpretation of test results and can recognize subtle clues that lead to an accurate diagnosis for you and your family. They help you understand your test results and which of your relatives might also need to have their hearts checked.
What We Offer You for Heart Disease Evaluation
- Specialized expertise in each aspect of your evaluation. Our cardiologists and genetic counselors write national guidelines and contribute to leading research. Our cardiovascular genetics nursing team is the first of its kind in the world.
- Team-based approach to care, with dedicated experts working together during the same clinic visit for more thorough and informed evaluations. We pioneered this integrated model, which has inspired other programs around the globe.
- Complete examination of heart health through specialized imaging, deep analysis of medical and family histories, and genetic testing.
- Ongoing monitoring and support by team members who help you understand your heart health, make informed decisions, and adjust to new circumstances.
