Summary

Inherited cardiovascular conditions generally inherit following an autosomal dominant pattern. When a mutation is detected in the proband, relatives can have predictive DNA testing, and - when they are carrier - be monitored and timely treated if needed. Currently, less than half of relatives attends genetic counselling. With the eCG Family Clinic, an easily accessible virtual clinic which better suits the needs and preferences of relatives will be offered. At the eCG Family Clinic, relatives will receive tailored information to support informed decision-making, a DNA-test at home if desired, and can be referred for local cardiac monitoring if relatives appear to be a carrier. Implementation of the eCG Family Clinic in clinical practice is compared to current practice in this clinical trial.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

eCG Family Clinic

The DNA-poli is an online tool which is designed as an addition to the current genetic counseling method to make the process more efficient and to increase the uptake without compromising counseling quality. Probands can invite their at-risk family members by entering their email addresses. The family members are invited to the DNA-poli via which they can get all the information needed to make a well-considered decision about genetic testing. The information is provided in different formats, for example via a virtual assistant and via videos, which they can evaluate at their own pace, and which can be reread or rewatched. Afterwards they can request an appointment with a health care professional and make a definite decision about genetic testing.
