CIHD Research Registry

The Johns Hopkins Center for Inherited Heart Disease is dedicated to advancing cardiovascular genetics research as it relates to the health and care of our patients. The first step in getting involved in our research is joining our research registry: “Genetic Investigation of Inherited Cardiac Conditions”. The purpose of this study is to learn more about the genetic causes of heart conditions. We also study which gene(s) cause patients with inherited heart conditions to vary in symptoms, outcomes, and rates of disease progression.

Services We ProvideGenetic Counseling

The Johns Hopkins Center for Inherited Heart Diseases can provide you with the appropriate counseling on the options, benefits, and potential risks of genetic tests. Genetic counseling is critical for understanding how genetic information may impact your future health, as well as your family.
