Plan your heart disease risk and drug use with DNA testing

Check your DNA and plan to take care of your heart
Many of us probably remember the feeling when our parents introduce us to their relatives, friends, even neighbors. They often compared our appearance, skin tone, or personality, said that we look like our father and what we look like our mother. When we grow up and think back, we might want to tell them what we want to be like father, and what we want to be like mother. However, these things are genetics, nature which we cannot choose them. The similarity or resemblance to our parents is not a coincidence. In fact, it is a plan that laid out by copying and passing on genetic material or DNA to you.
DNA Blueprint for life to Health Blueprint
DNA is responsible for collecting genetic material and passing it on to offspring, which is like a Genetic Code to determine the characteristics of living things. Living thing of the same species will contain 99.9% of the same DNA. The remaining 0.1% is enough to make living things of the same species different
with unique characteristics that can be distinguished from each other. At the same time, it also shows the same characteristics of people in the family, such as external physical appearance or internal characteristics such as our blood groups. It also includes diseases or abnormalities of the body that are passed down through the DNA of our ancestors.
We can compare to provide a clearer picture, DNA in human body is not different from “Blueprint” or the construction plan which can be used to tell us about the characteristics or how the plan is designed. Timing for construction is similar to timing of the growth of human, how long does it take? The Blueprint also tells us about the characteristics of construction materials, how about their strength or how fragile they are and where we have to provide special significant for that point.
Moreover, DNA can also set the lifespan or the time it takes for body to repair himself. When this illness or disease happens, it may not be the fate or “karma” like some people thinks, because we never knew or understood our health blueprint.
Although, we cannot correct or adjust our DNA or Blueprint, we can understand and unravel the secret of our DNA which will bring the secret to medical benefits and personalized healthcare, start from “adjust and change” reinforcing our behavior for health protection and also start treating at the right point.
DNA: precise medical data
On the principle of Precision Medicine which is the guideline of modern medicine, think that cause of disease of the patients come from 3 factors:
- Diseases are caused by genetics
- The environment in which the patient lives
- The patient’s lifestyle
Previously, the diagnosis of the patients with coronary artery occlusion, which is the cause of death from ischemic heart disease, we often concluded that the cause was from food consumption and life style, which took time to progress and showed symptoms when getting older. Currently, the premature coronary artery disease patients often occur, moreover, no risky lifestyle or behaviors were found in some cases. But they are found in the genetic high cholesterol group or “Familial Hypercholesterolemia”. After searching for information, it was found that patients or relatives would have the following characteristics:
- To have family members with the same heart disease in every generation: grandparents, parents and children.
- A family member died suddenly from an unknown cause.
- A family member had heart disease or heart failure at a young age.
- To have a family member who is sick with heart disease.
By this method, there is limitation about the family information for consideration such as the family size that is too small to examine the history of family member’s disease, so some patients from such family are undiagnosed. If those people have diagnosed early without waiting for symptoms to appear, and receive proper treatment, they can prevent premature cardiovascular disease.
DNA Testing reveals blueprint for heart health check-up
DNA testing that involves with the cause of acute coronary disease will help to predict the risk of disease occurrence even if the patient symptoms do not show or it is in the early stage of disease. This is a good answer of DNA testing so that the patient can receive advice on prevention or early treatment of disease.
I may start with changing the daily life or lifestyle of the owners of DNA testing, taking care of their food consumption, creating a balance in work and controlling stress. As the stress can affect their general health and is a cause of acute coronary heart disease. In addition, the health blueprint is also a health care tool used to design exercise or activities that are appropriate for each individual.
For the patients, DNA checking help them to understand Genetic Code that helps in developing disease screening and treatment, assessing the risk of developing acute coronary syndrome and helping to determine the right drug for each individual patient. By selecting drugs that are appropriate for genetics, called “Pharmacogenomics”, it may help to make the treatment of acute coronary artery syndrome more effective and safer.
Meanwhile, genetic data for acute coronary artery disease treatment research also opens up opportunities to develop new, more effective and safer drugs, thus creating opportunities for patients to receive better treatments in the future.
DNA creates a health plan from your blueprint
No matter how old you are now or how long you will live in the future, since you appear as an embryo hidden in your mother’s womb. DNA or genetic code has never changed. It will always show how it has expressed itself.
Therefore, undergoing a DNA test at any point in time does not make you understand yourself any less. With modern medical technology and decades of research, we have gained a deeper understanding of DNA, the various ways it manifests, and the differences in each person’s DNA. These differences help us to better understand and clarify the uniqueness of who you truly are.
By undergoing a DNA test and consulting with a specialist, you can balance your life and have a life plan that is line with your “health blueprint” and “life blueprint”, which will improve your overall health and make it safer.
