How can cardiovascular genetic testing affect your cardiovascular health? Cardiovascular genetic testing can impact your personal care. If a genetic test comes back positive, it could tell the doctor that you need additional cardiac screening. Additional testing can also help determine who in your family may be at risk. A positive test allows family members to have testing and to mitigate risk when considering cardiovascular health. Cardiac screenings allow for families to determine if there are clues for a possible underlying genetic cause, including family members diagnosed at a young age, having multiple family members with the same or similar diagnosis, or having someone in your family that has died suddenly or unexpectedly.

What other benefits are there to cardiac screening? Genetic screening could raise awareness of other medical problems outside of your heart like vision issues or problems with your bones or skeletal system.
