The cardiovascular drugs, cholesterol-lowering medications, and antihypertensives you're taking...
Are they truly compatible with "your genes"?
Today, many patients with cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol need to take medications long-term.
For some, the medications aren’t fully effective
For others, there are unexpected side effects.
The answer may not lie in the “dosage”
but in your genetics (DNA).
Why can the same medication produce different results?
Each person’s body is governed by unique genetics. Some medications must be metabolized by specific enzymes in the body.
If the related genes function differently, it may result in:
-
reduced drug effectiveness
-
a need for higher dosages
-
or unnecessary side effects
This is the foundation of Pharmacogenomics — using your genetic profile to personalize medications.
What is the CardioMed Pharmacogenomic Panel?
CardioMed Pharmacogenomic Panel is a test that analyzes your genetic sensitivity to drugs and drug response (Pharmacogenomics)
specifically for those taking cardiovascular medications / cholesterol-lowering drugs / blood pressure medications.
The test decodes genetic variants related to enzyme activity involved in the metabolism and elimination of drugs, which directly affects how your body responds to medications used in cardiovascular treatment.
The results help determine whether:
-
your body is likely to respond well to certain medications
-
and whether you have a higher risk of adverse reactions or side effects from specific drugs
This allows doctors to:
-
select the most suitable medication
-
adjust the dosage more precisely
-
minimize long-term side effect risks
Which drug groups are covered by this test?

Who should get the CardioMed Pharmacogenomic Panel?
This test is especially recommended for:
-
Individuals with cardiovascular conditions
Such as heart disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, etc. -
Those who require long-term use of heart-related medications
Such as antiplatelets, statins, blood pressure medications, or anti-arrhythmic drugs -
Those who don’t respond well to medications or get unexpected results
Everyone responds to medication differently—genetics may play a key role -
Individuals who have experienced side effects from medications
Such as dizziness, heart palpitations, swelling, or unexplained adverse reactions -
Those interested in proactive health management through Precision Medicine
Understand your DNA to create a personalized and safer treatment plan for the long term
