Cardiology Pharmacogenetics DNA Test
CARDIOpgx profile studies the SNPs associated with drug effectiveness of different antiarrhythmic, anticoagulants, antihypertensives and statins, in order to select the most appropriate treatment and dose required for each person.
Antiarrhythmic drugs
Antiarrhythmics are drugs that aim to restore the normal heart rhythm.
These drugs need a very careful dose adjustment as they have a narrow therapeutic index. Poor metabolism, or in some cases inadequate distribution, can alter its plasma levels.
Although adequate levels are effective in correcting arrhythmias, excessive plasma levels are, on the contrary, arrhythmogenic (produce or induce arrhythmia).
The profile studies the main categories of drugs related to antiarrhythmic treatment.
Anticoagulant drugs
Anticoagulants and platelet antiaggregants have a narrow therapeutic margin. It must be selected and dosed carefully since the sought therapeutic effect it is at a close point, between poor anticoagulation and could produce a thrombotic event, and excessive anticoagulation, for example, due to a reduced metabolism, which increases the risk of suffer hemorrhages. Several genetic factors influence the activation and elimination of these drugs.
The profile studies the main categories of drugs related to anticoagulant treatment.
Antihypertensive drugs
Hypertension can be treated with several classes of drugs that regulate the degree of contraction of the musculature of the blood vessels, or water uptake in the kidney, including antagonists of calcium channels. Drugs that act on the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, and adrenergic blockers.
The profile studies the main categories of drugs for the treatment of hypertension.
Statins
The profile studies the polymorphisms of different genes involved in the metabolism of statins in order to detect the risk of myopathies.
El informe incluye una interpretación de los resultados para los fármacos de prescripción más frecuente en cardiología (antiarrítmicos, anticoagulantes, antihipertensivos y estatinas) para que pueda utilizarse de forma inmediata sin necesidad de otras herramientas.
The report includes an interpretation of the results for the most frequent prescription drugs in cardiology (antiarrhythmics, anticoagulants, antihypertensives and statins) so that it can be used immediately without the need for other tools.
Interpretation of the report in Polytherapy
In this report, the "green" labeling of a certain drug with the patient's genes indicates that it can be prescribed in the standard dose conditions disclosed in the prospectus or those recommended by the physician. This applies in the case of monotherapy.
However, if the patient takes several medications, which is very common, although in the report would appear in "green" can cause adverse effects due to possible interactions between them, which can sometimes be severe, either by toxicity or by therapeutic failure.
Drugs are chemicals that may interfere the normal metabolism of other drugs. Interferences that are also applicable to the chemical substances of various medicinal plants and food supplements.
Consequently, the whole of the medication, together with the consumer products or life habits of the patient, must undergo an evaluation of pharmacological interactions.
Consulting g-Nomic® Pharmacogenetics interpretation software, before prescribing, is an effective aid to avoid most adverse effects or therapeutic failures due to medication.
g-Nomic® interrelates all drugs, herbs, nutritional supplements and lifestyle, with the patient's genes. It also advises the most appropriate dose to prescribe.
