What can GtSCA help you?
Sudden Cardiac Arrest is a condition in which the heart suddenly and unexpectedly stops beating and causes death. It belongs to arrhythmia, and within an hour, the patient will lose consciousness. As it happens unexpectedly, it is also called heart arrest.The death rate of sudden cardia arrest is high, and the rescue rate is only 3-10%. Most of the sudden death or heart arrest is due to the irregular heart rate of coronary heart disease, or heart failure, which is classified as structural heart disease.
Adults who are under 35 year-old who have sudden cardiac arrest are mostly inherited. And there is also 5-10% which do not have the history of coronary heart disease will also has sudden cardia arrest. Oxford now offers GtSCA genetic testing, using the Next Generation Technology (NGS), the latest genetic technology, to screen through 72,670 SNP and focus on 15 genes, helping you to understand all inherited information related to sudden cardiac arrest.
If your relatives or any elderly in your family do have sudden cardiac arrest, it indicates that you are in the risky group, even though it does not mean that you will necessarily get sudden cardia arrest. We suggest that you should consult with physicians or genetic consultants, fully understand your family history. GtSCA helps you to discover the cancer history of your family, and plan a healthy management for the family.
Genetic Testing Sudden Cardiac Arrest, arrhythmia, GtSCA
Content
Based on more than 15 genes that are highly related to sudden cardiac arrest, we screen more tham 72,670 SNP.
Technology
Next Generation Sequencing
Participants
Those who have family history of sudden cardiac arrest.
Those who have history of coronary heart disease or heart failure.
Those who are under stress, irregular life style, and lack of exercise.
Those who have the concept of preventive medication.
Those who have history of coronary heart disease or heart failure.
Those who are under stress, irregular life style, and lack of exercise.
Those who have the concept of preventive medication.
Significance
Informing risk of getting Sudden Cardiac Arrest.
Those who have the concept of preventive medication. From the aspect of genetics, the participants get to master the genetic information, assisting in health management, and strengthen the preventive measures.
Understand the family history of Sudden Cardiac Arrest, avoiding the inherited cardiomyopathy threatens family members.
Those who have the concept of preventive medication. From the aspect of genetics, the participants get to master the genetic information, assisting in health management, and strengthen the preventive measures.
Understand the family history of Sudden Cardiac Arrest, avoiding the inherited cardiomyopathy threatens family members.
Concept of Analysis
The results of screening will compare with Human Genome version 19 (hg19), and the participants are informed the risk of cancer based on the open dataset: dbSNP, COSMIC, ClinVar and OMIM.
