Cardiac conditions & when to test

International guidelines recommend testing for patients with a suspected or confirmed inherited cardiac disease, as well as for patients with first-degree relatives carrying a known pathogenic variant, even if the patient themselves is asymptomatic. Eurofins Clinical Diagnostics Ireland tests for the following cardiac conditions:

  • patients with a suspected or confirmed inherited cardiac disease 
  • first-degree relatives, even if asymptomatic, of an individual carrying a known pathogenic variant e.g. sudden cardiac death 

Following are the cardiac conditions we test for:

  • Hereditary hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
  • Hereditary dilated cardiomyopathy
  • Hereditary restrictive cardiomyopathy
  • Non-compaction of left ventricle
  • Arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy of the right ventricle/left ventricle/both ventricles*
  • Congenital long QT syndrome
  • Brugada syndrome
  • Short QT syndrome
  • Jervell Lange-Nielsen syndrome
  • Andersen-Tawil syndrome
  • Timothy syndrome
  • Cardiac conduction disorder
  • Sudden cardiac death
  • Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia

We continually update our panels to align with guidelines from major professional societies such as ClinGen, American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG), the Heart Rhythm Society (HRS), and the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) to ensure clinical utility and validity. You will find a list of the genes we test for on the test Request Form.
