About
The council on Cardiogenomics was founded in 2022 under the umbrella of the Belgian society of Cardiology (BSC) and Belgian Society of human genetics (BeSHG). Its main aim is to bring together health care professionals interested in cardiogenetic diseases. The goals of the council are to improve awareness on cardiogenetic diseases among health care providers and policy makers, improve patient care and stimulate multicentre research collaborations.
