Scientific Research
Understanding why one heart patient with an inherited heart disease can die at a young age, while another grows old without any symptoms.
For years, scientific Research has been conducted on genetic heart diseases with the aim to better understand the development of inherited heart diseases and better assess the personal risk of heart problems. What exactly causes someone to become ill or not? What goes wrong in the heart muscle cell? And can new treatments be found to prevent heart problems? In this way, cooperation is taking place on several fronts to better help people with a hereditary predisposition for heart disease.
“Teams of (Paediatric) Cardiologists and Clinical Geneticists are being bundled in academic hospitals in the Netherlands to jointly investigate the causes of genetic heart diseases…”
