Assessing Genetic Testing in Adult Congenital Heart Disease: Current State and Patient Perspectives
Few patients with ACHD have had genetic testing despite most being eligible based on current pediatric guidelines, likely related to birth era. Patients were interested in genetic testing though demographic factors and family status affected interest. The lack of broad recommendations for genetic testing in the ACHD population likely represents a significant barrier to increased utilization of genetic tests.
