Gene by Gene tests supporting heart health
Our genetic testing offers a powerful window into cardiovascular wellness, revealing predispositions and risks to create greater awareness of cardiovascular issues. This knowledge is empowering to take proactive steps towards a healthier heart and a longer, more vibrant life.
Here's our genetic testing that can benefit heart health:
- Hereditary Cardiovascular Diseases: Uncover potential genetic risks for conditions like cardiomyopathy, arrhythmias, and familial hypercholesterolemia, allowing for early detection and preventative measures.
- Personalize Medications with Pharmacogenomics: Discover how genes influence response to certain cardiovascular medications, leading to more effective treatments and fewer side effects.
- Optimize Nutrition with Nutrigenomics: Learn how genes interact with diet, particularly concerning lipid metabolism, plant intake, nitric oxide production, and more. Personalized insights help fine-tune nutrition for optimal heart health.
