Australian Genetic Heart Disease Registry

Information

The aims of the Australian Genetic Heart Disease Registry are:

  • Collection of data about families with inherited heart diseases, this includes information about their medical history, current symptoms/medications, family history, genetic testing results and frequency of visits to their cardiologist.
  • Create awareness and provide a reliable source of information to families and health professionals.
  • Establish a large genetic heart disease cohort for use by approved Australian research groups, with the ultimate goal of improved treatment options and patient care.
