Genetics of Heart & Vascular Disease

Genetics of heart diseases is also called Inherited Cardiac Conditions which is caused due to one or more abnormalities in the genome. When the genetic disorder of the heart is inherited from one or both parents, it is also classified as hereditary heart disease. Genetic heart disorders can be present before birth, and might some of them produce birth defects, but birth defects can also be developmental rather than hereditary. If any person has any family history of heart disease are very prone and at higher risk for cardiac diseases.

Vascular diseases: These are the conditions that have an impact on the circulatory system. It is a disorder in which the blood arteries that carry oxygen and nutrients throughout the body are harmed due to the accumulation of plaque inside the vessels, resulting in the development of numerous vascular conditions.

Vascular diseases are classified as follows:

• Carotid Artery Disease/Carotid Artery Stenosis.
• Deep Vein Thrombosis.
• Atherosclerosis.
• Chronic Venous Insufficiency.
• Intermittent Claudication
• Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm
