| COR | LOE | Recommendations | References |
| 1 | B‐NR | 1. Genetic evaluation of SCA survivors is recommended for those with a diagnosed or suspected genetic cardiac disease phenotype when the results are likely to influence diagnosis, management, or family screening. | 84, 322 |
| 1 | B‐NR | 2. When genetic evaluation is performed in an SCA survivor with a suspected or diagnosed genetic cardiac disease phenotype, it is recommended that evaluations include only genes where there is robust gene–disease association. | 84, 308 |
| 2b | B‐NR | 3. When genetic evaluation is performed in an SCA survivor with a suspected or diagnosed genetic cardiac disease phenotype, assessment of genes or genomic regions that are not known to be causally related may be considered in select circumstances. | 84 |
| 2b | B‐NR | 4. Genetic evaluation of SCA survivors without a distinct genetic cardiac disease phenotype may be considered in select circumstances. | 82, 330 |
| 3: No Benefit | C‐EO | 5. Genetic testing in SCA survivors with a well‐established nongenetic cause of SCA is not recommended. | |
