Cardiovascular diseases remain the leading cause of health concerns worldwide, yet many of the factors that influence your heart are invisible to the naked eye. While we often focus on what we eat and how we move, our baseline risk is frequently written in our DNA long before symptoms appear. Your genes hold answers that can shape a healthier future. Discover your personalised risk of heart disease with Mediclinic’s Cardiogenetic Package designed to guide smarter lifestyle and prevention choices.
Why Choose Cardiogenetic Screening?
Heart disease often hides behind a “healthy” exterior until a crisis occurs. Our screening reveals hidden genetic triggers for heart rhythm and muscle diseases, inherited lipid disorders and other risks that standard check-ups frequently miss. By identifying these markers early, you gain a precise, life-saving roadmap to mitigate the risk of sudden cardiac events. Don’t rely on generic health advice. Get the specific intelligence needed to protect your future and your family.
What are genes?
Genes are short DNA segment that give instructions to your body and tell it how to work. Sometimes genes can mutate, potentially causing cardiovascular disorders.
What is Whole Exome Sequencing (WES)?
Exons are the parts of genes that tell your body how to work. Whole exome sequencing is the process of analysing all a person’s known exons to see if they are working correctly. Any mutations in a person’s exons can cause or predispose to diseases and health risks. Whole exome sequencing allows your physician to get the fullest picture of known genetic mutations that may indicate certain heart conditions.
