Video Summary

Joe, a 32-year-old man with a family history indicative of Long QT syndrome, is evaluated for the condition. His QT corrected interval is 440 milliseconds, while his brother has a higher interval and a history of aborted sudden death. Their father and paternal grandmother both died suddenly, suggesting a potential genetic condition. Considering the family's history, the best course of action is to conduct genetic testing on Joe using a Long QT syndrome gene panel. If the test is positive, cascade screening should be utilized to test other family members for the condition.
