Inherited heart (cardiac) conditions

Making a referral

We accept referrals from GPs, other hospitals and other teams at Guy's and St Thomas' and King's College hospitals.

Network referrals

Network hospitals can refer patients by completing the inherited cardiac conditions (ICC) outpatient referral form.

Please email the completed form to [email protected].

This is for referrals to Guy’s and St Thomas’ hospitals. Please follow a separate referral process for Royal Brompton and Harefield hospitals and King's College Hospital.

Referral criteria

Referrals should be made for:

• people with known inherited cardiac conditions not under follow up elsewhere
• people with suspected inherited cardiac conditions
• people who have survived an unexplained cardiac arrest
• first degree relatives (sibling, child or parent) of people with an inherited cardiac condition
• first degree relatives (sibling, child or parent) of people who have survived an unexplained cardiac arrest
• first degree relatives (sibling, child or parent) of individuals who have died from a suspected inherited cardiac condition, sudden arrhythmic death syndrome (SADS) or premature sudden cardiac death (less than 45 years old)

First degree relatives (sibling, child or parent) of people with confirmed inherited heart conditions can self-refer to the service. Please email our inherited cardiac conditions specialist nurses at [email protected] for a self-referral form.

For children's referrals (under 16), please visit the heart referrals page on the Evelina London website.
