Cardiogenetics
The MUHC’s Cardiogenetics Clinic specializes in treating heart diseases that are genetic and can be passed down from one generation to another.
Our programs use cutting-edge methods, and personalized counseling and screening. Our services are tailored to meet the needs of each patient. We see adults and children.
