Find out if you carry inherited genetic mutations that could increase your risk of cardiovascular disease. Ventrilia is a next-generation genetic test that screens for hereditary cardiovascular syndromes and conditions, helping you and your healthcare provider take preventive action before symptoms develop.
Many cardiovascular diseases are inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern—meaning if one parent carries a mutation, there's a 50% chance of passing it to each child. When a close family member is diagnosed with a hereditary cardiovascular condition, genetic testing can identify other family members who may be at risk.
The test uses a simple, painless cheek swab—no needles, no blood. Early identification of an underlying cardiovascular condition allows for timely intervention, more effective treatment, and better clinical management.
Why Choose Ventrilia?
- Comprehensive cardiovascular screening – Detects mutations linked to multiple heart conditions
- Simple cheek swab – Painless collection, no needles, no blood
- Guide treatment decisions – Help your doctor develop a better clinical management plan
- Reduce risk of sudden events – Early detection can help prevent stroke or heart attack
- Identify at-risk family members – Results can help protect your whole family
- Results in 2–3 weeks – From sample arrival at the laboratory
Symptoms of Hereditary Cardiovascular Diseases
Symptoms vary between individuals—some experience mild or no symptoms, while others may notice:
- Dizziness
- Heart palpitations
- Fainting
- Shortness of breath
- Fatigue
- Chest pain
Even without symptoms, carrying a cardiovascular genetic mutation puts you at increased risk. For high-risk individuals who haven't yet developed symptoms, healthcare providers can recommend appropriate monitoring at key intervals. Early intervention can potentially be lifesaving.
Results are available within 2–3 weeks from the sample arriving at the laboratory. Please allow up to 4 weeks to receive your results from the date of purchase.
How It Works
We'll send you a collection kit with buccal swabs (cheek swabs), simple instructions, and a prepaid return envelope. Just swab the inside of your cheek—it's completely painless and takes less than a minute. No needles, no blood, no clinic visit needed.
Your kit includes: Buccal swab collection materials, step-by-step instructions, consent form, and prepaid return envelope.
Who Is This For?
- Anyone with a family history of heart disease, stroke, or sudden cardiac events
- Family members of someone diagnosed with a hereditary cardiovascular condition
- People experiencing unexplained cardiovascular symptoms
- Those who want to understand their inherited heart health risks
- Individuals seeking to take proactive steps for cardiovascular prevention
Ventrilia screens for genetic mutations linked to a wide range of hereditary cardiovascular conditions. The test identifies mutations that cause diseases with complex symptoms, enabling early intervention and more effective management.

Good to Know
Ventrilia is a genetic screening test that identifies mutations linked to hereditary cardiovascular conditions. A positive result indicates you carry genetic variants that may increase your risk of developing cardiovascular disease.
Carrying a mutation does not mean you will definitely develop heart disease, but it does mean you may benefit from closer monitoring, lifestyle modifications, or preventive treatment. Your results can also help identify other family members who may be at risk.
We strongly recommend discussing your results with a cardiologist, genetic counsellor, or your GP. They can help you understand what your results mean and develop an appropriate monitoring and management plan.
Sample Collection: Saliva sample collected at home.
No Fasting Required.
Results Timing: 3-4 weeks.
Genetic Counselling: Strongly recommended if a mutation is identified, as results have implications for cardiac screening programmes and family members.
