Join us to learn more about how genetics and sudden cardiac death are connected and how genetics can help to identify and prevent it.

Here in London and the South East we are working on a new project to identify people who are at risk of both inherited and acquired cardiovascular disease using genomic testing in combination with detailed clinical assessment. For example people with Brugada Syndrome (a rare heart condition which is usually genetic) often don’t have any symptoms. Brugada causes a dangerously fast or irregular heart beat which can lead to cardiac arrest.

Once we have identified people who may be at risk of Brugada and other genetic heart conditions, they can benefit from lifesaving treatment and prevent premature deaths.

Join our webinar to hear from Professor Elijah Behr, a consultant cardiologist at St. George’s Hospital who is leading this work alongside cardiac specialist nurses.
