| Abstract |
Advances in genetic testing technology have led to a proliferation of new genetic tests and accelerated developments in the field of cardiovascular genetic medicine. These advances enhance presymptomatic diagnosis and can establish a definitive molecular diagnosis for symptomatic patients at risk for sudden cardiac death. Most importantly, genotype-phenotype correlations can add important information for predicting outcome and selecting treatment for patients with inherited arrhythmic disorders. This paper reviews the current data regarding genotype-phenotype correlations and the role of clinical genetic testing in diagnosis, prognosis, and management of inheritable disorders leading to sudden cardiac death. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 18 January 2024.
All research outputs
#7,737,238
of 23,530,272 outputs
Outputs from Current Cardiology Reports
#360
of 1,027 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#42,941
of 121,021 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Current Cardiology Reports
#1
of 5 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,530,272 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 44th percentile – i.e., 44% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,027 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.7. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 52% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 121,021 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 36th percentile – i.e., 36% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 5 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than all of them
