Heart failure, as many Americans recognize these days, is a common cardiovascular disorder that is sadly on the rise. Heart failure is now diagnosed in nearly five million patients in the United States, and accounts for an alarming forty-two percent of the mortality rate each year. Through technological breakthroughs and studies, we continue to learn more about the human heart and how we can best protect it. Recently, genome screenings of mice with heart failure at the Duke University Medical Center have shown DNA containing genes that directly affect the heart’s ability to pump whilst enduring the disease.
These recent findings demonstrate a bright future towards curing heart failure more efficiently. Specifically, the researchers at Duke tested a male mouse implanted with genetic mutations that contained harsh forms of heart failure, and pitted it with a healthy female mouse.
