Approximately 1 in 5 deaths in the US result from cardiovascular disease CVD, which is an umbrella term that encompasses heart attacks, strokes, chest pain and angina. While not curable, heart disease is treatable and curable. Identifying risk factors early on and mitigating them is key to prevention. Lifestyles choices such as physical inactivity, unhealthy eating habits, smoking and genetics can increase the risk of CVD.
If you already have a family history of cardiovascular test, take this simple DNA test to identify if you carry genetic variants associated with this risk.
Risk factors associated with CVD
- Age
- Weight
- Diet
- High blood pressure
- Physical activity
- Alcohol consumption
- Smoking
- Genetics
What is measured?
This DNA test detects genetic variants linked to various lipids and other dietary components influencing the health of your heart. Following variants are associated with
- Triglyceride levels: ANGPTL3, LPL, MLXIPL, NCAN, TRIB1, NOS3, GALANT2
- LDL- Cholesterol: PCSK9, SUGP1, APOB, SORT1, LDLR, NCAN, HMGCR, NFN1A
- HDL-Cholesterol: CETP, LCAT, LPL, LIPG, ANGPTL4
- Lipid metabolism: LIPC, FADS1
- Other: GCKR, 9p21
