Engineering Hearts: Tech's Role in Gene Therapy for CVD
A Heartbeat of Hope: How Gene Therapy is Revolutionizing Cardiovascular Disease Treatment Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading cause of death globally, affecting millions and impacting families worldwide. Traditional treatments like medication and surgery can manage symptoms and slow progression, but they often fall short of a true cure. Now, on the horizon, lies a revolutionary approach: gene therapy for CVD. Gene therapy, at its core, aims to correct faulty genes responsible for disease development or introduce new genes to enhance heart function. Imagine replacing a broken genetic code with a healthy one, effectively addressing the root cause of the problem! This groundbreaking technology holds immense potential for treating a wide range of CVDs, from inherited conditions like hypertrophic cardiomyopathy...
