Cardiovascular Genomics

Our specialised services aim to empower individuals and families with knowledge about their genetic risk factors for cardiovascular conditions, enabling proactive measures for prevention and early intervention

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in India, accounting for a significant burden of disease and healthcare costs. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), CVDs contribute to approximately 28% of all deaths in India, with coronary artery disease (CAD), hypertension, and stroke being the most prevalent cardiovascular conditions. The prevalence of CVDs in India is rising, driven by factors such as urbanization, sedentary lifestyles, unhealthy diets, and genetic predisposition.

Importance of Prenatal Screening:

Genetics plays a significant role in the development of cardiovascular diseases, with certain genetic variants predisposing individuals to an increased risk of heart conditions. Inherited cardiac conditions, such as familial hypercholesterolemia, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy, and long QT syndrome, can be passed down through families and contribute to the development of CVDs at a younger age.

Cardiovascular genetic screening offers a proactive approach to identify individuals at increased risk of developing inherited cardiac conditions before symptoms manifest. Early detection of genetic predispositions allows for personalized risk assessment, lifestyle modifications, and targeted interventions to mitigate the risk of cardiovascular events such as heart attacks, strokes, and sudden cardiac death.

At GeneAura, we are committed to promoting cardiovascular health through advanced genetic screening and counseling services. Our team of experts specializes in identifying genetic risk factors for inherited cardiac conditions and providing personalized recommendations for risk management and prevention. Whether you're concerned about your own cardiovascular health or that of your family, we're here to support you.
