Cardiomyopathy & Inherited Cardiovascular Disease Program
Our program is a unique collaboration between Yale and University College London Heart Hospital that offers patients the highest level of care and international expertise. We provide evaluation of patients and families with inherited cardiomyopathies, arrhythmias, vascular diseases, and coronary and metabolic syndromes.
The complexity of inherited cardiovascular disease often outweighs the resources of traditional medical specialty practices. Using detailed clinical evaluation to inform genetics and vice versa, we offer a patient-centered approach that employs a care and treatment plan that matches the intricacies of each patient’s disease and his or her needs.
