A patient hugging his family member - Cardiac genetic testing information

Imagine a shorter timeline for diagnosis and treatment of heart conditions. Genetic testing is the key to early and accurate detection that can:

Aid in diagnosis


Provide prognostic information


Refine management and therapeutic decisions


Help identify at-risk family members


Get help clarifying or confirming diagnoses—fast

Cardio genetic testing can offer practical information across many heart conditions, with average results in 10–21 days. Some of these include:

  • Hypertrophic
  • Dilated
  • Restrictive
  • Noncompaction
  • Arrhythmogenic
  • Amyloid
  • Infiltrative
  • Long QT
  • Brugada
  • Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia
  • Sick sinus syndrome
  • Short QT
  • Wolff-Parkinson-White
  • Atrial fibrillation
  • Marfan syndrome
  • Ehlers-Danlos syndrome
  • Loeys-Dietz syndrome
  • Thoracic aortic aneurysms and dissections
  • Familial hypercholesterolemia
  • Hypertriglyceridemia
  • Chylomicronemia
  • Sitosterolemia
Cardiologist writing - Cardiac genetic testing information

1 in 5 patients with a suspected genetic cardiomyopathy or arrhythmia have a positive genetic test result.⁶

2 in 3 of those positive results confer clinical management implications, including targeted therapy or increased surveillance.6

Genetic testing through Invitae solved Melissa’s cardiomyopathy mystery

Genetic testing through Invitae solved Melissa’s cardiomyopathy mystery
“

My dad and I had our genetic testing done through Invitae to determine our genetic variant. The results showed that we both had the same genetic variant in the MYH7 gene. So from there, we knew this was what had been causing the cardiomyopathy in our family.”
