"Advancing Cardiovascular Health: Genetic Testing for At-Risk Patients"

Genetic testing for cardiovascular diseases is becoming increasingly important, with Rochester Regional Health (RRH) offering comprehensive genetic evaluation and testing for at-risk patients with a family history of heart conditions. Dr. Amanda Coniglio, a cardiologist at RRH, emphasizes the importance of early detection and prevention through genetic testing, which can provide potentially lifesaving information to family members. However, it is crucial for patients to receive genetic counseling and guidance from a physician before undergoing testing, as it is not necessary or appropriate for everyone.
