About the test

Hypertension is a condition in which blood pressure in the vascular system is chronically elevated. This disease is very common, and it is estimated that around 29% of the overall population suffers from it. Hypertension is a major risk for the development of atherosclerosis, especially when combined with other risk factors such as obesity, diabetes, elevated lipids… Several genetic variations have been identified that can significantly increase the risk of hypertension. Through analysis of polymorphisms, the risk of developing hypertension can be determined and reduced through specific preventive measures. Genetic analysis also helps identify the most effective treatment for lowering blood pressure.
