You will meet with one of our certified genetic counsellors<\/a><\/span> by telephone or videoconference to discuss your history and your genetic testing options. If you decide to have a genetic test done and you have a referral from your physician, we will coordinate the test and then meet with you again with the result to explain it in detail and discuss the implications for you and your family members. You and your doctor will receive a summary letter with a copy of your result. We are here to support you throughout this process.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cardiovascular disease<\/a> is common in Canada, affecting one in twelve adults, and is the second leading cause of death after cancer. Genetics, coupled with lifestyle, is a factor in all heart disease and some cardiovascular diseases are hereditary.<\/p>\n

Through genetic testing, several hereditary cardiovascular diseases can be identified to guide appropriate medical follow-up for you and for your family members. Our team of genetic health experts can work with your cardiologist or family doctor to determine if genetic testing is appropriate and to accompany you throughout the process.[\/vc_text_element][vc_empty_space height=”80px” tablet_landscape=”70px” tablet_portrait=”60px”][vc_heading heading_text=”Learn more about hereditary cardiovascular disease” heading_wrapper=”h5″ alignment=”align_left” heading_color=”{“solid“:{“id“:“Main accent color“,“color“:“#94d142“}}” responsiveness=”yes” tablet_portrait=”80″ mobile_landscape=”70″ mobile_portrait=”60″ css_animation=””][vc_empty_space height=”40px” tablet_landscape=”30px” tablet_portrait=”20px”][vc_expandable_list style=”minimal” skin=”light” title_typography=”{“font_family“:“32928416“,“variants“:“600“,“subsets“:“latin“,“font_size“:“20px“}” css_animation=”” accent_color=”{“id“:“custom_color“,“color“:“rgba(213,233,245,1)“}” el_class=”c-exp-list”][vc_expandable_list_item title=”Hereditary cardiovascular disease” tab_id=”1574637235720-1-10″][vc_text_element css_animation=”” color=”{“id“:“Default text color“,“color“:“#454646“}”]Certain cardiovascular diseases have a genetic predisposition,\u00a0for example:<\/span>[\/vc_text_element][vc_list_item css_animation=”” bullet_color=”{“id“:“Default text color“,“color“:“#454646“}” text_color=”{“solid“:{“id“:“Default text color“,“color“:“#454646“}}”]Familial hypercholesterolemia (high cholesterol)[\/vc_list_item][vc_list_item css_animation=”” bullet_color=”{“id“:“Default text color“,“color“:“#454646“}” text_color=”{“solid“:{“id“:“Default text color“,“color“:“#454646“}}”]Cardiomyopathies (hypertrophic or dilated)[\/vc_list_item][vc_list_item css_animation=”” bullet_color=”{“id“:“Default text color“,“color“:“#454646“}” text_color=”{“solid“:{“id“:“Default text color“,“color“:“#454646“}}”]Amyloidosis[\/vc_list_item][vc_list_item css_animation=”” bullet_color=”{“id“:“Default text color“,“color“:“#454646“}” text_color=”{“solid“:{“id“:“Default text color“,“color“:“#454646“}}”]Arrythmias (long QT syndrome, Brugada syndrome)[\/vc_list_item][vc_list_item css_animation=”” bullet_color=”{“id“:“Default text color“,“color“:“#454646“}” text_color=”{“solid“:{“id“:“Default text color“,“color“:“#454646“}}”]Aortopathies[\/vc_list_item][\/vc_expandable_list_item][vc_expandable_list_item title=”Who may benefit from genetic testing for cardiovascular disease?” tab_id=”1574973904296-2-9″][vc_list_item css_animation=”” bullet_color=”{“id“:“Default text color“,“color“:“#454646“}” text_color=”{“solid“:{“id“:“Default text color“,“color“:“#454646“}}”]If you have been diagnosed with cardiovascular disease that may be associated with an inherited predisposition, <\/strong>genetic testing can be an option to optimize your medical management.
