Heart disease remains one of the leading causes of death worldwide, often attributed to a mix of lifestyle choices, environmental factors, and genetic predispositions. A family history of heart disease often indicates that genetic factors might be at play.

Heart Valve Disease If one or more heart valves are not functioning correctly, it can cause blood to flow backward, putting extra pressure on the heart, which may cause it to expand to compensate for the inefficiency. This may result in ischemia (lack of oxygen to the heart muscle), causing parts of the heart to weaken and enlarge.
