What are the heredity risks associated with cardiac dysrhythmia?

Q: My brother suddenly passed away a few days ago – at 45 years old. They say that cardiac dysrhythmia was the cause of death. I’m planning to make an appointment with my doctor for a complete physical but is this something that I could have a genetic disposition for?

A: I’m very sorry about your loss. Every year 450,000 people die in the US from cardiac arrhythmia. You can have a genetic predisposition for the same problem so every one in your family needs to be assessed to make that determination. These syndromes are congenital prolonged QT interval, Brugada syndrome, heart disease such as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy to just name a few. All family members should be screened and refereed to a cardiac electrophysiologist who specializes in rhythm disorders. An arrhythmia can occur in a structurally normal heart. Take care, Donna
