The draft standards on coronary heart disease, published by NHS Quality Improvement Scotland in February 2009, contain a standard relating to the assessment, diagnosis and treatment of arrhythmia, of which cardiomyopathy is one of the causes. An essential criterion in the arrhythmia standard is that patients at risk of and diagnosed with hereditary arrhythmias syndromes are referred to the Familial Arrhythmias Network of Scotland (FANS).

FANS is a national managed clinical network (MCN) which brings together the cardiologists, clinical geneticists and pathologists involved in assessing patients with a proven or suspected familial (inherited) arrhythmia. The MCN aims to raise awareness of familial arrhythmias, define and agree referral protocols and develop national guidance for clinical and genetic testing. The network is currently developing referral guidelines for familial cardiomyopathy and expects to publish these by the end of the year.
