What is Cardio inCode® and how can it help reduce your cardiovascular risk?
- Do you have cardiovascular risk factors (high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes, smoking, etc.) that may increase your chances of cardiovascular disease or a heart attack?
- Are you concerned that you might have heart attack symptoms ?
- Would you like to take control of your future health and any required medical prevention plan?
- Would you like to know your genetic predisposition towards having a heart attack?
If you answered YES to any of the above questions, you should be aware that 50% of the likelihood of suffering heart attack (myocardial infarction) depends on your genetics.
If you would like to gain a detailed risk and insight to whether you may suffer a heart attack, it is essential to evaluate your genetics.
Classic cardiovascular risk factors such as age, smoking and eating habits are not sufficient on their own, as they only contribute by 50% of the likelihood of developing a severe cardiovascular problem. That is why it is necessary to combine information from both categories to accurately assess your level of risk.
With Cardio inCode® you can begin to understand your own genetics and the risk of developing cardiovascular disease!
Cardio inCode Score® is a patented genetic test validated in over 80,000 patients that analyses the 12 most important genetic variants in your DNA related to cardiovascular risk.
Cardio inCode® enables you to understand your true risk of suffering a heart attack empowering you to adopt cardiovascular prevention steps to reduce your risk of a cardiovascular event.
Cardio inCode® Check also informs on your predisposition to developing classical cardiovascular risk factors such as high cholesterol, hypertension, or diabetes in addition to advising on cardiovascular prevention measures and treatment pathways appropriate to your level of risk. Cardio inCode Check® analyses up to 158 genetic variants in your DNA.
As cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death globally, priority should be given to the steps required to reduce your risk factors and in order to help improve your future health and lifestyle.
Carrying Out A Cardio inCode® Test
With the help of your physician, you can easily carry out a Cardio inCode® test, following these steps:
-
Order
Your physician orders the test and then receives our DNA collection kit
-
Sample
A sample of your blood or saliva (mouth swab) is taken
-
Analysis
The sample is analysed in our laboratory
-
Results
We send the encrypted results to your physician, who will discuss the results and the next steps with you
What are Cardio inCode cardiovascular prevention test users saying?
Thousands of individuals have already benefited from the Cardio inCode genetic test to reduce the risk of suffering a heart attack, and their cardiovascular risk in general.
-
Dr. Romero Head of the Lipids Unit at Hospital Infanta Elena, Huelva.“Early diagnosis of FH is essential to change the natural history of the disease, since it’s genetic, and present from birth. It goes undetected through the first decades of life, and in many cases, is only diagnosed after an episode of cardiovascular disease. Genetic testing of individuals with suspected diagnoses and their family members gives us a head start of more than a decade over the natural course of events.
In our Lipids and Vascular Risk Unit, it has become an indispensable tool.”

Dr. Pedro Royo IVI RMA Pamplona
“Thrombo inCode is a product that’s extremely useful in reproductive medicine. For patients who suffer implantation failure, recurrent pregnancy loss or those with backgrounds of thrombotic episodes, it provides information that is extremely useful in their clinical management, both for ovarian stimulation and preparation of embryo transfer.”

Dr. Joaquín Garcia Ezquerro CASA DE SALUD HOSPITAL. VALENCIA
“It helps me gather valuable information to take measures in treating my miscarrying patients and increase the likelihood of success in their pregnancies.”

Their trust is the best guarantee.
Privacy and safety guaranteed
The privacy, confidentiality and security of your data are of the highest priority for GENinCode. In compliance with the legislation in force, we use all necessary computer security protocols, including encryption, to guarantee the anonymisation and integrity of your health data.
All connections to our SITAB data platform are made under the SSL cryptographic protocol. The use of an anonymous identification code for the comprehensive management of patient samples, from analysis to the issue of the results, enables their traceability in a secure, confidential and 100% reliable way.
Cardio inCode® is backed by extensive scientific evidence. A sample of the publications:
These studies showthat the genetic risk score of Cardio inCode® is associated with the risk of presenting a coronary accident. Therefore, the higher the genetic score, the greater the coronary risk. This way, genetics enables us to identify those individuals with coronary risk higher than it would be based only on their classical risk factors.
