Genetic Heart Disease
Genetic heart disease refers to a group of heart conditions that are caused by inherited genetic mutations. These mutations can affect the structure and function of the heart, leading to various issues such as arrhythmias, cardiomyopathy, and congenital heart defects. Individuals with a family history of heart disease may be at a higher risk of developing these conditions.
Diagnosis often involves genetic testing, which can help identify specific mutations. Treatment options vary depending on the type and severity of the disease and may include medications, lifestyle changes, or surgical interventions. Early detection and management are crucial for improving outcomes in affected individuals.
