Discover Your Heart Health with Cardiomap -The Next Generation Health Test
Cardiomap is a revolutionary new development that can give you a genetics-based cardiac risk profile, for the common Cardiovascular diseases, traits that are known to have associations with the CVD’s.
​
​
​
​
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) have emerged as the leading cause of mortality. More than 80% of CVD deaths are related to stroke and Coronary Heart diseases. A high genetic risk (due to presence of gene variations that are known to act as a risk factor), environmental factors, and lifestyle habits are the major concerns for early onset of disease. Identifying the genetic risk can help put early screening and adopt a preventive strategy by making the possible lifestyle changes to mitigate the risk
Your genes play a decisive role in your overall health. Although factors like physical fitness and lifestyle have a major say in your health, it is the genes that encode the bigger picture. This is where Cardiomap™ changes things.
Cardiomap predicts your genetic predisposition to a
wide spectrum of CVDs and diabetes, several key associated risk factors, treatment options, and lifestyle changes.
Genetic Predisposition: Find your risk for many chronic and life-threatening diseases to ensure early detection.
Traits: Learn if you have genetic traits that influence a medical outcome, health and well-being in general, or your lifestyle.
Drug response: Discover your response to drugs, optimum drug dosage and drug sensitivity.
Inherited Conditions: Gain insights into carrier status- conditions that can be passed to future generations.
Genetic Counseling: Our experts will analyze your reports and correlate the findings with your family health history, medical history, and lifestyle.
Diet and Fitness Counseling: Opt for expert advise to improve lifestyle with information gleaned from your DNA and medical history.
