Genomic implications in Adult Congenital Heart Disease

Genomic implications in Adult Congenital Heart Disease (ACHD) refer to how our genetic makeup can influence the development and management of heart defects present from birth. Research shows that certain genetic variations may increase the risk of congenital heart problems or affect their severity. Understanding these genetic factors can help doctors predict outcomes, tailor treatments, and identify family members who may also be at risk. Advances in genetic testing and personalized medicine are improving care for adults with ACHD, allowing for more accurate diagnoses and targeted therapies based on individual genetic profiles.
