Genetic Tests for Cardiovascular Diseases

Early detection and diagnosis of cardiovascular disease can help prevent sudden cardiac death and improve the prognosis and treatment of affected patients. Genetic tests provide important diagnostic and prognostic information for myocardial infarction, deep vein thrombosis, arrhythmias, familial hypercholesterolemia, and others. Genetic testing can also identify asymptomatic and at-risk family members, allowing for early prevention or intervention to prevent illness or sudden death.

Our range of genetic tests for cardiovascular diseases is extensive and is continuously updated. Contact us if you cannot find a specific test you need.

Identification of 12 Genetic Variants

Predispositions to Cardiovascular Disease (CVD12)

The CVD12 genetic panel identifies 12 genetic variants associated with an increased risk of developing coronary artery disease, pulmonary thromboembolism, atherosclerosis, hypertension, and others. cardiovascular diseases. Risk factors include hypercoagulation, increased homocysteine, folate deficiency (Vitamin B9), increased fibrin formation, defects in the regulation and transport of cholesterol, decreased protection of cardiomyocytes.

Diagnostic Range: Genetic variants in the genes Factor V Leiden (FV), Factor V R2 (FVR2), Prothrombin (FII), Factor XIII (FXIII), β-Fibrinogen (FGB), Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor (PAI), Glycoprotein IIIa ), Methyltetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR 677C> T), Methyltetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR 1298A> C), Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE), Apolipoprotein B (APOB), Apolipoprotein E (APOE) are analyzed

Diagnostic Method: PCR / Hybridization

Research Material: 6 ml venous blood / 2 ml peripheral blood

Results within: 10 business days

Fee: BGN 350
