Cardiovascular Genetics Program

All heart diseases are potentially related to an underlying genetic disorder. Texas Children’s Cardiovascular Genetics Program is a collaborative of doctors, advanced practice providers, genetic counselors and nurses who provide advanced diagnostic and long-term care to families with heart conditions that have a genetic cause.

Our team evaluates, provides genetic counseling and offers treatment to families with hereditary heart conditions. An understanding of genetic causes has the potential to help our doctors identify associated anomalies or risks, influence management and improve recurrence risk counseling. Having a multidisciplinary team of pediatric and adult providers enables us to provide lifelong care. We also actively lead and work in partnership with several national and international research initiatives and connect patients with opportunities to participate in active studies.
