| Abstract: | Introduction: Genetic testing plays a key role in the management of inherited cardiac conditions (ICCs). Personalized medicine in cardiology has evolved substantially, with guidelines now recommending genetic testing in patients with ICC for phenotypic characterisation and risk stratification. It plays a central role in predictive testing, especially in relatives with concealed phenotypes. Study objective: The main objective of this study is to explore the clinical manifestations and outcomes of gene positive (G+) versus gene negative (G-) family members, complimenting a national cardiac screening program in adolescents. |
