Cardiomyopathies

Cardiomyopathies are diseases of the heart muscle in which the myocardium is weakened, dilated or has another structural problem that affects its ability to pump blood properly, potentially leading to heart failure. We provide a general panel that includes the analysis of the genes associated with the most frequent types of cardiomyopathy (hypertrophic, dilated, arrhythmogenic, restrictive and non-compaction) or the specific study of each of them.

Channelopathies

Channelopathies are genetic diseases of the heart's ion channels, which control the electrical activity of the heart, and can therefore cause alterations in heart rhythm, increasing the risk of arrhythmias and sudden death in the patient. We study the genes associated with the most common channelopathies such as long QT syndrome, Brugada syndrome and Catecholaminergic Polymorphic Ventricular Polymorphic Tachycardia, among other related pathologies.

Pulmonary hypertension

Pulmonary hypertension is a rare disease defined by an abnormal increase in pulmonary blood pressure secondary to thickening of the walls of the pulmonary arteries. This condition requires the heart to work harder to force blood through these narrowed pulmonary arteries, resulting in symptoms of heart failure. This study includes the analysis of the BMPR2 and EIF2AK4 genes among others associated with the pathology.

Congenital heart disease

Congenital heart diseases are a group of diseases characterised by the presence of structural alterations of the heart caused by defects in its formation during the embryonic period. The vast majority of congenital heart diseases have a multifactorial aetiology, although it is estimated that 8-10% of the cases are due to a chromosomal anomaly, and 3-5% are associated with a monogenic syndrome. We include the study of 130 genes associated with syndromic and non-syndromic congenital heart disease.
