DNA tests for detection/prediction of congenital and acquired cardiovascular diseases

Prediction of the risks of having cardiovascular disease is a hot area in prevention medicine. The test evaluates the risk of developing a specific disease.
This improves the chance of early diagnosis and treatment of a potential lethal heart disease.

Methods of Examination
