How important and useful is a Heart Genome test
- Help Assess Your Heart Disease Risk : Understand Your Genetic Risk and Other Risk Factors
- Helps in planning heart health care: Change behavior to reduce the risk, such as exercise, food selection, avoiding foods that we are sensitive to certain nutrients.
- Helps to select the right medication: If medication is required. The doctor can select the medication that is appropriate for our genetics, both in terms of selecting the type of medication and selecting the most appropriate dosage.
At what age can Heart Genome testing begin?
Heart Genome testing. Can divided into 3 age groups based on suitability and importance.
- Age 18-40 years old can start screening at a young age. It is a screening to find the risk of disease if there is a family history of heart disease in order to plan health care before the disease occurs.
- Age 40-55 years can be tested to find factors that confirm the cause of the disease, whether it is related to genetics or not, or tested to select the right medicine for genetic characteristics, called “genetically determined medicine” (Pharmacogenomics). Which will help make the treatment of acute coronary syndrome more effective and safer.
- Age 55 and above: At this age, heart disease may already occur. Heart Genome examination will performed in conjunction with treatment planning, appropriate medication selection, and selection of good nutritional therapy for that individual.
How to test Heart Genome?
It is a blood sample collection and sent to สมัครสมาชิก UFABET วันนี้ รับเครดิตฟรีทุกวัน the laboratory for genetic disease risk analysis. The test can be done at any time without fasting before the blood test. The test results must be waited for about 4-6 weeks.
How often should a Heart Genome test be repeated?
Since the ‘gene’ does not change, there is no need to repeat the test. And if in the future the testing technology changes the database. We can update the new knowledge data set to process the disease risk according to the new data set immediately.
