How Do Genes Link To Sudden Cardiac Arrest Risk? - Cardiology Community
How Do Genes Link To Sudden Cardiac Arrest Risk? Have you ever wondered how genetics can influence your heart health and the risk of sudden cardiac arrest? In this informative video, we'll explain the connection between genes and heart rhythm problems that can lead to unexpected cardiac events. We'll start by discussing how inherited conditions affect the electrical signals and structure of the heart, potentially causing dangerous arrhythmias or weakening the heart muscle. You'll learn about common genetic syndromes like Long QT Syndrome, Brugada Syndrome, Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy, and Dilated Cardiomyopathy, and how these conditions increase the likelihood of sudden cardiac arrest. We will also cover the role of genetic testing in identifying individuals at risk, including the use of molecular autopsies in unexplained deaths and the emerging field of polygenic risk scores that assess combined genetic variations. Additionally, we'll highlight the importance of family history and screening for relatives to prevent future incidents. Understanding these genetic factors allows healthcare providers to recommend preventive measures such as lifestyle changes, medications, or implantable defibrillators. Whether you're concerned about your own heart health or that of a loved one, this video provides essential information on how genetics play a role in sudden cardiac arrest risk and the advances in genomic testing that help save lives.
