Prevent Sudden Death

Genetic Analysis Can Help Prevent Sudden Death

PREDICT

This app performs a comprehensive analysis of your genes for conditions that cause an abnormal electrical condition of the heart called arrhythmias and cardiomyopathies. The full list of conditions screened for appears below. When the heart doesn't beat in proper rhythm, sudden death may occur.

PREVENT

Many times sudden death occurs without the person ever knowing they have one of these conditions.

If the person finds out that they have one of these conditions before sudden death occurs, the person's healthcare provider will be able to implement a plan, such as specific medications or a medical device, that may prevent sudden death.

PREVAIL

You can outsmart your genes. If you have a change in a gene that predisposes you to sudden death, there are lifestyle modifications and interventions that have been shown to prevent sudden death from occurring.

This DNA App Analyzes Your Genetic Risk of Cardiomyopathies and Cardiac Arrhythmias

This app screens for the following conditions and provides you with an easy-to-read, empowering report of the results:

• Long QT Syndrome (LQTS)
• Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS)caused by Long QT Syndrome
• Brugada Syndrome
• Catecholaminergic Polymorphic Ventricular Tachycardia (CPVT)
• Wolff Parkinson White (WPW)
• Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Dysplasia/Cardiomyopathy (ARVD/C)
• Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM)
• Dilated Cardiomyopathy (DCM)

Getting Started
