❤️ Cardiovascular Care: Beyond Diet and Exercise

By Gene by Gene

While lifestyle choices are vital, a patient's genetic blueprint dictates how their cardiovascular system functions and, more importantly, how it responds to clinical intervention.

1. Identifying the "Silent" RisksHigh cholesterol isn't always about what’s on the plate. Conditions like Familial Hypercholesterolemia (FH) often remain asymptomatic until a major cardiac event occurs. By identifying genetic markers for FH or hereditary cardiomyopathies, providers can initiate earlier interventions and personalized monitoring protocols.

2. Pharmacogenomics (PGx): Precision PrescribingGeneric prescribing can lead to adverse drug reactions (ADRs) or treatment failure. PGx testing analyzes how a patient metabolizes specific cardiac medications:

Statins: Genetic variants can predict the likelihood of statin-associated muscle pain (myopathy), improving long-term adherence.

Antiplatelets (e.g., Clopidogrel): Some patients carry variants that render standard doses ineffective, significantly increasing the risk of secondary stroke or heart attack.

Beta-Blockers: PGx helps clinicians find the "Goldilocks" dose—optimal efficacy with minimal side effects—right from the start.
