Author(s): William Ebomoyi EWilliam Ebomoyi E
This project reviewed genomic epidemiology of cardiovascular diseases, identified specific gene-chromosomes which are linked to the onset of various heart problems. The economic burden associated with heart diseases was estimated to be well over $475.3 billion as of 2009. Innovative genomic science has revealed the need to educate the American and global community about the relevance of adopting the family history approach combined with the utilization of the health belief model to screen for the various risk factors associated with the leading causes of death not only in United States but in many other developed nations. The investigator presented the role of innovative medical diagnostic resources used in the management of cardiovascular diseases in United States. As a primary preventive strategy, the inexpensive natural pathway to heart heath was provided.
