Cardiac Risk Assessment Testing Near Orlando, FL
A Health Analytics Tool For The Detection Of Genetic Polymorphisms Associated With Cardiovascular Disease, Hypertension, Diabetes, Insulin Resistance, Atrial Fibrillation, Stroke And Dyslipidemia.
CardiaX aims to reduce the prevalence of heart disease and associated conditions by empowering patients and physicians with a vital resource for early risk detection and an enhanced focus on personalized primary prevention.
CardiaX is the largest collection of genetic mutations and serological tests that provides potential risks for heart, metabolic, and vascular conditions for individuals with the following risks:
⇒ Family history of heart disease
⇒ Uncontrolled hypertension
⇒ History of cardiac events
⇒ Diagnosed with metabolic syndrome
⇒ Elevated inflammatory markers
⇒ Increased medical risk for hypertension
CardiaX was developed by Vibrant Wellness. It is used as a genetic testing tool to detect and interpret genetic variants that are associated with increased predisposition for heart conditions along with metabolic responses to certain pharmacological agents (drugs). The intended use of this testing is to help reduce certain heart conditions by making health style life changes.
This testing covers 16 different genes associated with cardiovascular and other associated diseases that can impact the patients health. Patients that are on multiple anti-hypertensive (blood pressure medications) may not have the genetic ability to break down the drugs into their active form and thus obtain all the side effects of the medication with no benefit. This new testing will discover such issues.
The test results of individual cardiovascular genes are represented by alleles (Homozygous Wild, Hetereozygous or Homozygous Mutant). The results are explained along with therapeutic modalities which include life style changes (diet, exercise, foods and nutrient supplements) to be used to reverse the on-going process.
