Specific genetic variants, such as those affecting cholesterol metabolism, can increase the likelihood of plaque buildup in the arteries. Cardiomyopathies: These diseases affect the heart muscle, impairing its ability to pump blood effectively. How Do Genetic Factors Work?

On the basis of these findings we told her that she had suffered a heart attack. She asked me why I felt she had had a heart attack and I explained to her that she had had chest pains and the blood test indicating damage to the heart was elevated and that was all we needed to say that she had had a heart attack.

If our valves are leaky then again, a smaller volume of blood is effectively ejected because some leaks back Cardiomyopathies – if the heart muscle itself is defective in some way then that makes it weaker. This includes conditions like familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, familial dilated cardiomyopathy etc.

Poor blood supply Ischemia, or inadequate blood supply to the heart, is an abnormality that can be detected in an ECG test. ECG tests can also show previous heart attacks. An ECG machine is able to detect other abnormalities of the heart as well, such as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy or overly thick heart muscles.

If the pump is in any way defective then not as much blood comes out of the heart and the body and all our vital organs will get less blood than they should and this could lead to harm. So cardiomyopathies, valve problems, myocarditis and previous heart attacks all cause a problem with the pumping function of the heart.
