Importance of Omega-3s Omega-3 fatty acids are crucial for your body to function. Omega-3s are needed for cell membranes and are essential for creating hormones that regulate blood clotting. The body cannot produce omega-3s on its own, so it is important to take supplements or eat foods that are high in omega-3 fatty acids. To [...]
Cardiovascular disease, encompassing vascular and structural types, continues to be the most common chronic disease. For the past 50 years, cardiac disease consistently remained a number one cause of death in both men and women. Despite ongoing successful efforts in reducing mortality from cardiovascular disease, current preventive and treatment strategies failed to stem the rise [...]

Genetic testing use blood/tissue samples to identify any cardiac problems that you may have inherited from your parents. Genetic testing can also be used to identify the best treatment or to determine if the best course of action is being taken. This process can help identify if there are genetic changes that can be passed [...]
