Journal Title: Anatolia Cor - International Heart Journal - Year 2023, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Heart diseases are a growing problem worldwide and cause millions of deaths each year. Although lifestyle factors such as diet and exercise are known to contribute to the risk of heart disease, genetic factors also play an important role. This article explores the genetic risk factors associated with heart disease and how genetic mutations may cause these conditions.Heart diseases are a major public health problem worldwide and are responsible for serious morbidity and mortality. While lifestyle factors such as smoking, malnutrition and lack of physical activity are known to contribute to the development of heart diseases, recent research also highlights the role of genetic factors in its pathogenesis. Understanding the genetic basis ofheart diseases, the interaction between genetic predisposition and environmental factors,and the ethical consequences of genetic tests for heart diseases are important research areas.As a result, genetic factors play an important role in the pathogenesis of heart diseases. Although our understanding of the genetic basis of heart disease is incomplete, recent research has identified critical biological pathways involved in the development of heart disease. The interaction between genetic predisposition and environmental and lifestyle factors is an important consideration in the prevention andtreatment of heart diseases. Finally, the ethical implications of genetic testing for heart disease highlight the importance of careful consideration of these issues in the use of genetic testing in clinical practice.
