Genetic predisposition to ventricular scarring is associated with heart failure and ventricular arrhythmia. Although many pathogenic variants have been shown to predispose patients to poor outcomes, the impact of many VUS remains uncharacterized.

Atrial fibrillation is the most prevalent sustained cardiac arrhythmia and an important risk factor for ischemic stroke resulting in a fivefold increased stroke risk. The clinical utility of polygenic risk scores for ischemic stroke prediction among atrial fibrillation patients has not yet been established.

Genetic predisposition to septal scarring can result in ventricular arrhythmia and poorer ablation outcomes. There is a need to better define these genetic variants to understand clinical implications. Many commonly occurring variants continue to be described as variants of uncertain significance (VUS).

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia in the U.S., Data pertaining to the American Heart Association Life’s Simple 7 (LS7) health metrics show that Black Americans have suboptimal LS7 scores compared to White Americans on average despite lower genetic predisposition to AF.

The highest HRs (95% CIs) of AF were observed for participants at high genetic risk who consumed >2 L/wk of ASB (HR, 3.51 [95% CI, 2.94–4.19]), 4.19]), and the lowest HR were observed for those at low genetic risk who consumed ≤1 L/wk of PJ (HR, 0.77 [95% CI, 0.65–0.92]).

Heart disease remains one of the leading causes of death worldwide, often attributed to a mix of lifestyle choices, environmental factors, and genetic predispositions. While you can’t change your genetic code, having a family history of heart disease does not mean your fate is sealed.

It encompasses a range of conditions, including coronary artery disease, heart failure and arrhythmias. While lifestyle factors such as diet, exercise and smoking play a significant role in the development of heart disease, genetics also contribute substantially.
