Heart disease remains one of the leading causes of death worldwide, often attributed to a mix of lifestyle choices, environmental factors, and genetic predispositions. This blog explores how genetics influence heart health and whether mitigating these inherited risks is possible. Can You Prevent Heart Disease if Its in Your Genes?

Introduction:Clinical characteristics of patients with in-hospital onset stroke (IHOS) compared to those with out-of-hospital onset stroke are reported to be late detection of stroke onset, less use of rt-PA, presence of atrial fibrillation, and poor outcome. First, we calculated the incidence rate of IHOS among hospitalized patients.
