Cardiovascular disease is a leading contributor to morbidity and mortality, with over 17 million deaths occurring annually worldwide. Risk increases in adults over the age of 60, and in part is attributable to inherited genetic makeup.
Cardiovascular disease – which includes coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, peripheral artery disease, and atherosclerosis – is heavily influenced by factors such as insulin resistance, hypertension, dyslipidemia, inflammation, and coagulation properties. Many of these factors can be mitigated by lifestyle changes. However, in some cases, particularly where family history of cardiovascular disease is prevalent, medications or more targeted lifestyle interventions are needed to better manage health outcomes.
Markers Include:
- ApoE – Impacts management of cholesterol levels and risk of heart attack, stroke, hypertension, and coronary disease
- Factor II (Prothrombin) – Affects the body’s ability to form blood clots which is tied to the risk of many cardiovascular-related health outcomes
- Factor V – Enhances body’s coagulability which leads to thromboembolisms
- MTHFR – Contributes to increased levels of homocysteine, a known risk factor for heart disease, atherosclerosis, and peripheral neuropathy
- 9p21 – Associated with cellular growth and proliferation in relation to atherosclerosis, arterial stiffness and coronary artery disease
- eNOS/NOS3 – Influences nitric oxide levels leading to risk of endothelial dysfunction, and many subsequent cardiovascular effects
- SLCO1B1*5 – Modulates the body’s ability to metabolize statin medications, which are commonly prescribed to improve cholesterol
- AGT – Key to maintaining blood pressure, patients who carry this mutation may be at an increased risk of developing hypertension
