MicroGen Cardiogenetics

Heart disorders can be inherited, affecting individuals of all ages and posing significant health risks. MicroGen cardiogenetic testing plays a crucial role in assessing these risks and guiding treatments, particularly in patients exhibiting similar symptoms. Accurate genetic testing is essential for diagnosis, enabling personalized treatment plans, enhancing overall management, and identifying other family members who may be at risk.

Understanding Inherited Cardiovascular Disorders

Inherited cardiovascular disorders are diverse and can affect the heart in various ways:

  • Structural Disorders - Conditions such as cardiomyopathies that alter the heart's structure and function.
  • Nonstructural Disorders - Disorders like arrhythmias that affect the heart's electrical system.
  • Isolated Conditions - Examples include familial thoracic aortic disease, which typically presents independently.
  • Syndromic Conditions - Conditions such as Marfan syndrome that are associated with other systemic features.

When to Consider Cardiogenetic Testing

Cardiogenetic testing is an important tool for identifying and managing inherited cardiovascular disorders. Consider testing if you or your family have experienced:

  • Family history of heart disease - Heart conditions running in your family.
  • Early heart attacks or strokes - Heart problems occurring at a young age.
  • Sudden cardiac death - Unexpected heart-related fatalities in the family.
  • Heart abnormalities - Unusual heart structures or functions.
  • Lifestyle risk factors - Smoking, heavy alcohol use, diabetes, obesity, high blood pressure, high cholesterol or high stress.
