Indications for genetic examinations in children with bradyarrhythmias

Abstract

The nature of hereditary cardiac conduction diseases can be determined by using genetic testing. However, due to the absence of large studies, as well as the phenotypic variability of the electrocardiographic and clinical manifestations in patients with bradyarrhythmias, and a positive genetic test there are difficulti to evaluate its effectiveness. The article presents indications for genetic examinations in children with bradyarrhythmias, developed in the Children’s Center for Cardiac Arrhythmias and summarizes the recommendations for patients with cardiac conduction disorders.
