Genetic predisposition study of heart failure and its association with cardiomyopathy

Abstract

Heart failure (HF) is a clinical condition distinguished by structural and functional defects in the myocardium, which genetic and environmental factors can induce. HF is caused by various genetic factors that are both heterogeneous and complex. The incidence of HF varies depending on the definition and area, but it is calculated to be between 1 and 2% in developed countries. There are several factors associated with the progression of HF, ranging from coronary artery disease to hypertension, of which observed the most common genetic cause to be cardiomyopathy. The main objective of this study is to investigate heart failure and its association with cardiomyopathy with their genetic variants. The selected novel genes that have been linked to human inherited cardiomyopathy play a critical role in the pathogenesis and progression of HF. Research sources collected from the human gene mutation and several databases revealed that numerous genes are linked to cardiomyopathy and thus explained the hereditary influence of such a condition. Our findings support the understanding of the genetics aspect of HF and will provide more accurate evidence of the role of changing disease accuracy. Furthermore, a better knowledge of the molecular pathophysiology of genetically caused HF could contribute to the emergence of personalized therapeutics in future.

“…Cardiomyopathy is a group of myocardial conditions characterized by mechanical and electrical dysfunction, with structural defects in cardiomyocytes that can result from genetic causes or improper ventricular hypertrophy, according to the American Heart Association [ 18 ]. The progression DCM involves three main stages: early, middle, and late.…”

“…Autosomal-dominant inheritance is the predominant mode of transmission; however, other mechanisms such as X-linked, autosomal recessive, and mitochondrial inheritance still account for other causes of familial heart failure syndromes. Furthermore, dominant mutations can occur de novo in patients, with a 50% chance of being passed on to the offspring [ 77 ]. Heart failure vulnerability can also be affected by high-frequency but low-penetration genetic variation.…”
