Protect Your Heart’s Rhythm: Advanced CASQ2 Gene Testing for Ventricular Tachycardia
When your heart races unexpectedly or you experience unexplained fainting spells, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. Many South Africans live with undiagnosed inherited heart conditions that put them at risk of sudden cardiac events. Our CASQ2 gene test provides the clarity you need to understand your cardiac health and take proactive steps to protect yourself and your family.
Understanding Your CASQ2 Genetic Test
The CASQ2 gene test uses cutting-edge Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to identify specific genetic mutations that cause catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT). This inherited condition disrupts your heart’s electrical system, causing dangerous rapid heartbeats during physical activity or emotional stress. Unlike standard ECG tests that only capture momentary heart activity, our genetic analysis provides lifelong insight into your cardiac health risks.
We analyse the CASQ2 gene, which plays a crucial role in regulating calcium levels in heart muscle cells. When this gene contains mutations, it can trigger life-threatening arrhythmias that often go undetected until a serious event occurs.
Who Should Consider This Heart Health Test?
This test is essential if you experience:
- Unexplained fainting or dizziness during exercise or emotional stress
- Racing heartbeats or palpitations that concern you
- Family history of sudden cardiac death or unexplained fainting
- Relatives diagnosed with inherited heart rhythm disorders
- Previous abnormal ECG results without clear diagnosis
- Anxiety about your cardiac health during physical activity
Many South African families carry genetic heart conditions without knowing it. Early detection through genetic testing can be life-saving.
Why This Test Matters for Your Cardiac Health
Getting tested provides multiple life-changing benefits:
- Peace of Mind: Eliminate uncertainty about your heart’s genetic health
- Early Intervention: Detect risks before symptoms become dangerous
- Family Protection: Identify risks for children and relatives
- Personalised Treatment: Guide medication and lifestyle choices
- Prevent Sudden Events: Reduce risk of cardiac emergencies
- Informed Family Planning: Understand inheritance patterns
Knowledge is power when it comes to inherited heart conditions. This test empowers you to take control of your cardiac health.
Understanding Your Test Results
We make understanding your results straightforward and reassuring:
- Positive Result: We identify a CASQ2 gene mutation. Our genetic counsellor will explain what this means for your health and connect you with cardiac specialists for ongoing care
- Negative Result: No CASQ2 mutations detected. This significantly reduces your risk of CPVT, though continued cardiac monitoring may be recommended
- Variant of Uncertain Significance: We find a genetic change with unknown impact. We’ll monitor research and provide updates as new information emerges
Every result includes a comprehensive genetic counselling session to ensure you fully understand your cardiac health status and next steps.
