Personalized approach in arrhythmology by genetic-based data: a case report.

Abstract

The results of molecular genetic testing may affect recommended treatment or therapeutic decisions and risk assessment, may help with identification of family members at risk. Here, we report a case of a young patient with a paradoxical combination of two inherited arrhythmic syndromes and demonstrate the role of genetic testing as one of the basis of personalized approach in diagnosis, treatment and prevention complications of inherited channelopathies complications. Integration of genetic testing results into clinical practice is a successful example of the concept of personalized medicine.
