Akin to athletes, there are high-risk professions for which employers have struggled to combine on-the-job safety with the diagnosis of a genetic heart disease (GHD). Such professions involve intense exercise, increased risk, or situations where syncope could pose a risk, also to others. Nowadays, more cases of GHDs are identified through employment-based evaluations or cascade genetic screening, leading to potentially unnecessary delays in ‘return-to-work’ (RTW) or even suspension in the absenc
