Cardiovascular Genetics Center
At the Cardiovascular Genetics Center in Pittsburgh, Pa., we specialize in caring for people with inherited diseases of the heart and blood vessels.
A regional and national leader in cardiovascular genetics, we offer access to cutting-edge diagnostics and advanced treatments for all forms of inheritable cardiovascular diseases.
Inheritable cardiovascular conditions we treat
- Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
- Dilated cardiomyopathy
- Glycogen storage cardiomyopathy
- Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia
- Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome
- Long QT syndrome
- Brugada syndrome
- Other familial arrhythmias
- Familial aortic aneurysms

Our care extends to patients and families who have been diagnosed with — and those who are at risk for developing — these diseases because they are present in relatives.
