Heart genetic counseling
Genetic counseling weighs the impact your personal or family history has on your likelihood of developing certain types of heart conditions.
Your doctor may recommend genetic counseling if you or a family member:
- Had an early heart attack (before age 50 for women, before age 55 for men)
- Have a history of high cholesterol or triglycerides, also known as familial hypocholesterolemia.
- Have been diagnosed with heart disease prematurely (before age 55 for men or age 65 for women)
Not sure if you qualify for genetic testing? Talk to your provider or call 570-214-2637 for more information.
