How a genetic test can help you with heart diseases?
Some heart diseases like Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy and Familial Hypercholesterolemia are hereditary in nature and may affect the people carrying mutation, irrespective of their healthy diet and lifestyle. Taking a genetic test to identify the mutation and risk of these diseases can help the person to plan the treatment in advance with their cardiologists, even long before visible symptoms. Also, genetic test can help the treating cardiologist to design a personalized drug treatment plan based on your DNA, to avoid side effects of the medicines.
Who should take these genetic tests?
- Anyone to know their risk of carrying the respective mutations
- Gym goers, athletes & other sports persons
- People having family history of sudden cardiac arrest or cardiovascular diseases
- Anyone involved in stressful jobs
What do we offer?
D-Cardio is a group of genetic tests specifically designed for targeted heart diseases like HCM & FH along with the personalized treatment of these conditions. Interested individuals can opt for these tests based on their requirement.
D-Cardio HCM Test – For Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a condition in which the heart muscle becomes abnormally thick. This thickening makes it harder for the heart to pump blood effectively. It is a genetic disease caused due to some mutations in DNA, which are passed on from one generation to another. We analyze 3 genes with clinically definitive evidence & their respective 12 genotypic markers.
D-Cardio FH Test – For Familial Hypercholesterolemia
Familial Hyper-cholesterolemia is a genetic disorder that makes the body unable to remove low density lipoproteins or bad cholesterol. This inherited condition increases the risk of Coronary Artery Disease, which may eventually lead to Heart Attack. It is caused due to some mutations in DNA, which are passed on from one generation to another. We analyze 3 genes with clinically definitive evidence & their respective 33 genotypic markers
D-Cardio PGx Test – For personalized drug treatment plan
Pharmacogenetics plays a significant role in the treatment and management of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). It focuses on how genetic variations influence an individual’s response to medications and its side effects. This genetic test analyzes the pharmacogenetics of anticoagulants, antiplatelets, statins, beta-blockers and antiarrhythmics.
