Arrhythmic and Cardiomyopathic genetic tests are designed to identify possible gene mutations associated with cardiac diseases and disorders, particularly those related to arrhythmias and cardiomyopathies.

Arrhythmias refer to abnormal heart rhythms, while cardiomyopathies are diseases that affect the structure and function of the cardiac muscle. Both conditions can have a genetic basis, meaning that certain gene mutations can increase the risk of developing these disorders.

These tests involve analyzing an individual’s DNA to identify specific genetic variants that are known to be associated with these conditions. The tests typically focus on genes that play a role in regulating the heart’s electrical activity or maintaining the structural integrity of the cardiac muscle.

At Advanced Lab Solutions, we identify gene mutations through DNA testing due to which healthcare professionals can gain insights into an individual’s genetic predisposition to arrhythmias or cardiomyopathies. This information can help with diagnosis, risk assessment, and treatment planning. It may also be useful for screening family members who might be at risk of inherited cardiac conditions.
