We selectively test for inherited cardiovascular conditions—like lipid disorders, arrhythmias, or cardiomyopathies—using a DNA-based screen guided by your personal or family history. Results can help clarify lifelong risk factors and support informed decisions with Dr. Saha.
If you have a family history or concerning traits, we offer targeted genetic testing through a simple saliva or blood sample. We send it to a certified lab, and once results are in, Dr. Saha explains what your genetic markers mean—and how they may impact your long-term heart health.
Knowing your inherited risk can help you and Dr. Saha make informed decisions sooner. If you carry genes linked to heart disease, she can discuss steps that may fit your situation—especially if you have family history or unexplained abnormal labs.
Genetic Testing for Heart Disease Susceptibility
Screens for inherited cardiovascular conditions, offering clarity on lifelong risk based on family history and unique genetic markers.
Genetic testing may be appropriate for some people with a family history of early heart disease, sudden cardiac death, or unexplained cardiac conditions, or abnormal labs without a clear cause. It is not for everyone. Book a visit with Dr. Saha to see if it is right for you.
Based on your history, we may recommend a simple saliva or blood sample. This is sent to a certified genetic lab for analysis. Once complete, Dr. Saha explains your results in a one-on-one consultation, focusing on what they mean for your long-term heart health and prevention strategy.
Genetic testing can reveal inherited risks that routine exams may not show. Knowing your predisposition can help guide whether medication, lifestyle changes, imaging, or monitoring make sense for you.
No physical risks—only a saliva or blood sample is required. However, results may reveal lifelong inherited risks. Prepare emotionally and mentally to learn about potential genetic conditions. Dr. Saha will guide you through the findings and offer support, context, and clear action steps if risks are identified.
You’ll receive a detailed explanation of your genetic results and how they impact your heart risk. If inherited risks are found, Dr. Saha will offer personalized recommendations and potential monitoring plans. Some patients may be referred for additional testing or specialty care based on their genetic profile.
