Genomics and Adult Cardiovascular Emergencies: A Primer for Emergency Medicine Clinicians.

There is a growing intersection between genomics and emergency medical care following recent advancements in both capability and accessibility. This has often been the case in adult presentations, where a genetic cause may not be considered or deemed beyond available diagnostic capabilities.

• 1 This is of particular significance in the management of cardiovascular emergencies, where conditions such as sudden cardiac arrest, cardiac arrhythmia and syncope can be due to an inherited condition.
• 2 The ability to identify a genetic cause for such presentations challenges what may have previously been conceded as a 'known unknown'.
• 3 This has often been the case in adult presentations, where a genetic cause may not be considered or deemed beyond available diagnostic capabilities.

Understanding this could lead to better treatments, improved diagnostics, or a deeper grasp of how the human body works — benefiting patient care globally.
