| Method | Illumina NovaSeq 6000 with advanced bioinformatics | Capillary electrophoresis, limited to exonic hotspots |
| Speed | 3–4 weeks | 6–8 weeks |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
Advisory – Medication Warning
Do not discontinue any prescribed cardiac medication or alter your treatment plan based solely on genetic test results without consulting your treating cardiologist. Abrupt cessation can precipitate acute heart failure or dangerous arrhythmias.
Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- Exclusion: Patients unable to provide informed consent (including minors without a legal guardian), or individuals with severe coagulopathy making venipuncture unsafe.
- Emergency Red Flags – seek immediate medical attention, do not wait for test results: Acute chest pain, severe shortness of breath at rest, fainting (syncope), irregular or racing heartbeat with dizziness, or sudden swelling of legs/abdomen.
