Genetics of cardiovascular disease.
Fifty years ago, cardiovascular genetics simply did not exist. Genetics was a nascent field of basic research, with little apparent relevance to cardiovascular science or any other medical subspecialty. Today, cardiovascular genetics is a discipline that fully integrates high-technology laboratory investigation and clinical medicine. From this hybrid have emerged discoveries that have precisely...
متن کاملCardiovascular Involvement in Behçet Disease: Clinical Implications.
Behçet disease (BD) is a multisystem disorder, with vasculitis as its underlying pathological process, in contrast to the classic triad of recurrent oral and genital ulcerations, with uveitis. Vascular involvement in BD includes venous thrombosis, arterial occlusion, and pulmonary artery and aortic aneurysm formation. Cardiac involvement is rare and often obscure. It includes intracardiac throm...
متن کاملGenetics of Human Cardiovascular Disease
Cardiovascular disease encompasses a range of conditions extending from myocardial infarction to congenital heart disease, most of which are heritable. Enormous effort has been invested in understanding the genes and specific DNA sequence variants that are responsible for this heritability. Here, we review the lessons learned for monogenic and common, complex forms of cardiovascular disease. We...

Crohn’s disease is one of the first polygenic diseases in which a susceptibility gene (NOD2 ) ...
متن کاملClinical Implications of Obesity With Specific Focus on Cardiovascular Disease
Obesity adversely affects cardiac function, increases the risk factors for coronary heart disease, and is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease. The risk of developing coronary heart disease is directly related to the concomitant burden of obesity-related risk factors. Modest weight loss can improve diastolic function and affect the entire cluster of coronary heart disease risk ...
