Genetic heart conditions run in families. If you think someone in your family has a genetic heart condition, it's important to get tested. Early diagnosis and monitoring and treatment of your condition can help you manage it more effectively. You will also want to get your children screened to provide early diagnosis and begin important preventive measures.

The Heart and Vascular Genetics Clinic at the Nebraska Medical Center provides cardiovascular genetic testing and counseling services for patients with genetic disease. 

Does heart disease run in your family?
You  may have a genetic heart condition. To schedule an appointment with one of our cardiologists to see if you qualify for genetic testing, call 800.922.0000.

Understanding genetic heart and vascular disease requires an advanced team of experts including cardiologists, cardiothoracic and vascular surgeons, a dedicated case management nursing team and genetic counselors to walk you through the process of understanding your disease.
