Cardiac Genetic Disorders

Cardiac genetic disorders, a subset of genetic conditions affecting the heart, involve abnormalities in the genes responsible for the structure and function of the cardiovascular system. These disorders can manifest in various forms, impacting heart development, rhythm, or overall function. Some conditions may predispose individuals to congenital heart defects, while others may influence the risk of arrhythmias or cardiomyopathies. Understanding the genetic basis of cardiac disorders is crucial for early diagnosis, risk assessment, and personalized treatment strategies. Advances in genetic testing and research are shedding light on the intricate relationship between genetics and heart health, offering hope for improved interventions and tailored approaches to manage and mitigate the impact of cardiac genetic disorders.
