What is Cardiovascular Genetic Diseases?

A genetic variation (mutation) in a single gene can affect the likelihood of developing heart disease. When a family member is diagnosed with heart disease or a heart disorder; other family members are encouraged to undergo screening for risk factors and early stage disease that may not yet produce symptoms.

  • Fatigue.
  • Heart palpitations.
  • Lightheadedness/fainting.
  • Shortness of breath.
  • Irregular heartbeats (arrhythmias). Faulty heart signaling causes the heart to beat too fast, too slowly or irregularly.
  • Heart infection (endocarditis).
  • Stroke.
  • High blood pressure in the lung arteries (pulmonary hypertension).
  • Heart failure.

Causes of Inherited Cardiovascular DiseaseWe each have between 20,000 and 25,000 different genes. Inherited heart conditions are caused by a fault (or mutation) in one or more of our genes. If one of your parents has a faulty gene, there's a 50:50 chance you could inherit it.

How is it treated?

Treatment for acute myeloid leukemia is vital. It varies with the patient and stage of the disease. Treatment options include

While there's no single gene that causes heart disease, several genes can work together to increase your chances of developing it. Certain genes can pass on risk factors such as high blood pressure or high cholesterol. Shared environments can also be passed on to you from the previous generation in your family.
