STROKE RISK TEST™

This test will determine if you have increased genetic risk for a stroke. It is based on reading genetic code of the LTA (Lymphotoxin A) gene.  Specific variations in this gene are associated with increased chances of developing a stroke (Reference). 

A positive result means significantly higher genetic predisposition for a stroke. In that case it is important to discuss with your doctor the best ways to avoid strokes: losing weight, quitting smoking and excessive alcohol use, lowering blood cholesterol are just a few of the health steps that you could take to dramatically lower your stroke risk.

This test does not diagnose stroke or any other condition. You should seek prompt professional medical attention if you have a particular concern about your health or specific symptoms. Always consult your physician before starting any new diet or exercise program.
