FAQS

Which heart medications are included in the test?

Inagene’s Cardiovascular Health test analyzes your genetic compatibility with a wide range of commonly prescribed drugs, including beta blockers, statins, ACE inhibitors, and anticoagulants. Your personalized results highlight which medications may be more effective—or potentially harmful—for you. You may find the full list of heart medications we cover here.

Who should consider a Cardiovascular PGx test?

Anyone taking or about to start medications for conditions such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or other conditions that affect heart function. The best time to take the test is before starting treatment, so you and your doctor can choose medications that are more likely to work for you based on your DNA. It’s also helpful if you’re experiencing unwanted side effects, are on multiple medications, or want to avoid trial and error in finding an effective treatment.

Can this test help prevent serious side effects from heart medications?

Yes. Some people carry genetic variants that make them more likely to experience adverse reactions to certain heart medications. This test can flag those risks early, allowing your healthcare provider to avoid medications that may be harmful to you.

What happens to my DNA sample after the test?

In the lab, your DNA sample is identified only by a unique barcode, not by your name. This ensures that your personal identity is not linked to your genetic information during analysis. We follow careful, step-by-step procedures to protect your samples from start to finish. Your DNA is chemically destroyed when it is no longer needed.
