Cardiopulmonary NGS Panel

Early diagnosis to improve long-term health.

Cardiopulmonary syndromes are conditions of the heart and lung. These organs are closely connected, and a problem in one can spill over to the other. For example, when the heart is not able to pump blood efficiently, normal oxygen movement in the lungs is reduced, causing shortness of breath. On the other hand, a problem with the lungs can cause the heart to work harder to get oxygen from the lungs into the blood.

The Cardiopulmonary NGS panel includes 236 genes and covers a wide variety of diseases affecting the heart and lungs. Benefits of genetic testing include:

• Earlier diagnosis, leading to earlier initiation of preventative therapies and improving long-term cardiopulmonary health.
• Many cardiopulmonary diseases have associated complications that can be treated effectively, if detected early.
• A firm diagnosis can direct patients to appropriate experimental therapies or clinical trials.
