Cardiac Gene Therapy

Cardiac gene therapy is a medical approach that aims to treat heart conditions by modifying the genes responsible for heart function. It involves delivering specific genes into heart cells to improve their ability to repair damage, enhance blood flow, or prevent heart diseases. This can be done using viruses as vectors to carry the therapeutic genes into the heart tissue. By altering the genetic instructions, cardiac gene therapy seeks to promote healthier heart function, reduce symptoms, and potentially improve the quality of life for patients with heart diseases. It represents a promising area of research in cardiovascular medicine.
