Your DNA Holds a Secret: Uncovering Hidden Heart Attack Risk with Genetic Testing

Did you know your DNA could reveal a hidden risk for heart attack, even if your cholesterol levels seem normal? A groundbreaking study has mapped over 17,000 genetic variants linked to high cholesterol, offering a new way to predict and prevent heart disease. In this video, we'll explore how scientists are using genetic testing to identify people at risk, explain the role of the LDLR gene in cholesterol regulation, and discuss how this breakthrough could lead to personalized, preventative heart care. Learn how this research bridges the gap between lab science and everyday medicine, potentially saving lives by catching heart risks before it's too late.
