After the sudden, unexplained death of a loved one, it’s important to know more about what happened to them to protect the rest of your family. SADS conditions are genetic, and can affect more than one member of your family, so it’s important to talk to your family about your loved one’s cardiac condition. Giving your family the gift of knowledge can help save lives.

The First Steps We Recommend

If none of the living family members are identified as having a SADS condition you may consider genetic testing and DNA Banking to preserve a sample of DNA for future testing.
