Introduction to Cardiogenomics<\/span><\/h1>\n

Provides a summary of cardiogenomics as it relates to NP practice.\u00a0 Topics include arrhythmias, cardiomyopathies, heart failure, lipid disorders, and aortic diseases.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Discussed are the many forms of cardiovascular disease that have a genetic component. \u201cRed flags\u201d are highlighted for possible genetic conditions.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Information and resources include how to use Pathways BC for specialist referral and clinic information.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A case study is used as an example of how to approach someone with possible cardiac problems.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
