HEREDITARY CARDIAC TEST

How can we help you?

Supreme Medical Laboratories offers state-of-the-art genome sequencing through NGS and a comprehensive analysis, to target __ genes associated with __ inherited cardiac conditions. Our Hereditary Cardiac Test is intended to determine the chances that a healthy individual, with a family history of cardiac conditions, might develop a heart disease.

Why should I get tested?

Several heart diseases are caused by Dominant genes; meaning that if your first-degree relative has been diagnosed with a Hereditary Cardiac Disease, you pose a 50% chance of carrying the gene as well. While diet and lifestyles factor into the overall health of an individual’s heart, genetic influences make up a staggering 50% of risk for cardiac diseases. If you have a family history of cardiac complications, or simply want to take precaution measures, our Hereditary Cardiac Test was made for you

How does it work?

Advancements in technology have given us the tools to detect genetic defects associated with inherited cardiac conditions in as quick as __ days. It all starts with a quick and easy saliva swab collected from the patient which is then sent from the provider to our laboratory. We then isolate genomic DNA from the swab using the most widely trusted Thermo-Fisher DNA Extraction kit on the market. The individual’s DNA then undergoes a process known as Next Generation Sequencing. This revolutionary genomic technology allows us to sequence a patient’s DNA and target a broad coverage of cardiac genes with disease implications. Once sequenced, our team provides your medical provider with a comprehensive report about the patient’s genome highlighting all the genes associated with inherited heart diseases, and their genotype, to provide the most advanced level of patient care available.
