Descripción

Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is a silent but devastating genetic disease, responsible for up to 20% of heart attacks in people under 45 years old. Detecting it early can make the difference between a healthy life and a premature cardiovascular event.

This genetic test allows precise identification of the genetic variants involved in LDL cholesterol metabolism, distinguishing between monogenic and polygenic forms. This information not only improves diagnosis but also enables personalized treatment, cardiovascular risk stratification, and cascade screening in family members.

In a clinical environment increasingly focused on preventive and personalized medicine, this test becomes an essential tool for doctors and patients committed to effective cardiovascular disease prevention.

¿Is it suitable for me?

This test is for you if:
• You have a family history of high cholesterol or early cardiovascular disease.
• Your tests show elevated cholesterol levels without an apparent cause.
• You have experienced cardiovascular episodes at an early age.
• You want to know your hereditary risk and take preventive action.
• You want a personalized health plan based on your genetics.

Sample type: Blood

How does it work?

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this test replace blood cholesterol analysis?

No, it is a complementary test. Blood tests indicate the current cholesterol levels; this test identifies the hereditary cause.

Is it useful even though my cholesterol levels are normal now?

Yes, because it allows you to anticipate. If you have a genetic predisposition, you can take preventive measures before cholesterol levels rise.

Can the predisposition be inherited?

Yes. Familial hypercholesterolemia is hereditary. Detecting it in a person can help identify the risk in direct family members.

Can I take this test if I am already on cholesterol medication?

Yes, the treatment does not influence the result. Additionally, the result facilitates the selection of more effective lipid-lowering drugs according to the genetic profile, improving the therapeutic response.
