Understanding Your Heart’s Genetic Blueprint: CALM1 Gene Testing
When unexplained fainting spells, racing heartbeats, or family history of sudden cardiac events create uncertainty about your heart health, finding clear answers becomes essential. Our CALM1 Gene Test offers the clarity you need to understand your genetic predisposition to ventricular tachycardia – a condition that affects thousands of South Africans each year.
What Does the CALM1 Gene Test Detect?
The CALM1 gene plays a crucial role in regulating your heart’s rhythm. When mutations occur in this gene, it can lead to catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT4) – a serious condition where your heart beats dangerously fast during physical activity or emotional stress. Our advanced Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology examines your CALM1 gene with exceptional precision, identifying even the smallest genetic variations that could impact your cardiac health.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly important if you experience:
- Unexplained fainting or dizziness during exercise
- Racing heartbeat or palpitations when stressed or active
- Family history of sudden cardiac death or unexplained fainting
- Previous abnormal ECG results without clear diagnosis
- Concerns about passing cardiac conditions to children
Many South Africans live with undiagnosed heart rhythm disorders, often mistaking symptoms for anxiety or normal stress responses.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Health
Identifying CALM1 gene mutations early can be life-changing. With accurate diagnosis, you can:
- Receive appropriate medical treatment and monitoring
- Make informed lifestyle choices to manage your condition
- Understand risks for family members and future generations
- Reduce anxiety about unexplained symptoms
- Prevent serious cardiac events through proactive care
Early detection means you can take control of your heart health before symptoms escalate.
