Cardiovascular risk test

The cardiovascular risk test will help you find out what your genetic risk is for cardiovascular diseases such as coronary heart disease, stroke and high blood pressure. This test analyzes eight gene points that affect lipid metabolism and thus the risk of cardiovascular disease.

The results of the test are reported as a weighted average of the individual risks of the tested gene sites and compared with the average level of the population.

As an add-on to the test, you can also order an Alzheimer’s risk test, which analyses the APOE gene, which is the most well-known genetic risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease in old age.

We always respect your privacy – We do not disclose your contact information to third parties and you will receive your test in an inconspicuous shell without references to a DNA test.

Fast and safe – Usually the result gets about 2-4 weeks after the samples are sent.

Please note that when sending DNA samples back to us, your consent to testing should be demonstrated by all parties. If the child being tested is under the age of 18, the consent must be given by his/her guardian. We do not check personal data, so it is the customer’s responsibility to verify the authenticity of the signatures.

Why should I take a cardiovascular risk test?

Cardiovascular disease is one of the world’s leading causes of death, and prevention and early detection are key to maintaining health. Here are a few reasons why you should consider taking a cardiovascular risk test:

1. Identification of personal risk:
   • The test will help you know your genetic risk of developing cardiovascular disease. This knowledge will help you better understand how your genome affects your health.
2. Prevention and early intervention:
   • By knowing your risks, you can take appropriate action at an early stage. This can include lifestyle changes such as improving your diet, increasing physical activity, and quitting smoking.
3. Individual health recommendations:
   • Based on the results of the test, you will receive personalized recommendations on how to reduce your risk. This can include dietary and exercise recommendations, as well as other healthy lifestyle changes.
4. Informed decisions:
   • You will receive scientifically based information to help you make informed decisions about your health. This can improve quality of life and extend life expectancy.
5. Family health:
   • If you have a history of cardiovascular disease in your family, the test can help you understand your family’s genetic predisposition and take preventive measures for the health of your family members as well.
6. Peace of mind:
   • Taking the test and getting the results can give you peace of mind knowing exactly what condition your cardiovascular health is in and what you can do to improve it.
7. Health and wellbeing:
   • Prevention and management of cardiovascular disease are key factors in maintaining overall health and well-being. Determining the risk is the first step towards a healthier life.

By taking a cardiovascular risk test, you can take an active role in maintaining and improving your own health. Don’t wait, act today and take a test that can help you live longer and healthier.
