Understanding Your Heart’s Genetic Blueprint
When heart conditions run in your family, the uncertainty can feel overwhelming. You may worry about your own heart health or that of your loved ones. Our TPM1 Gene Cardiomyopathy Test provides the answers you need to make informed decisions about your cardiac health journey.
What This Test Reveals About Your Heart Health
The TPM1 gene plays a crucial role in regulating your heart muscle function. When mutations occur in this gene, it can lead to dilated cardiomyopathy type 1Y – a condition where the heart muscle becomes weakened and enlarged, making it harder for your heart to pump blood effectively throughout your body.
Using cutting-edge Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, our test examines your TPM1 gene with exceptional accuracy, identifying even the smallest genetic variations that could impact your cardiac health.
Is This Test Right For You?
Consider this genetic test if you experience:
- Family history of cardiomyopathy or sudden cardiac death
- Unexplained shortness of breath or fatigue
- Heart palpitations or irregular heartbeats
- Swelling in your legs, ankles, or feet
- Persistent cough or difficulty lying flat
- Family members diagnosed with heart muscle disease
Early detection through genetic testing can be life-changing, allowing for proactive management and potentially preventing serious complications.
Why Genetic Heart Testing Matters for Your Health
Knowledge is power when it comes to inherited heart conditions. By understanding your genetic risk:
- You can take preventive measures to protect your heart health
