After my emergent aortic dissection, at age 46, this was the first genetic testing I did at the recommendation of my physician. We tested for aortic conditions and connective tissue disease. The testing that I did was covered by my insurance. Invitae can test for other genetic markers for heart disease, structural heart defects, as well as various other rare diseases. The testing was a simple saliva test. The results arrived and were easily accessible to both me and my physician. Check out the link below. Their website is loaded with great information. Discuss with your clinicians. Do the research and see if it is a good choice for you and your family.
