Genetic Link To Heart Disease found!

Researchers in the USAand Canada have finally found a genetic link to heart disease as a major breakthrough research outcome. It has to be noted that a recent separate study by researchers in Iceland also found that the same genetic factor was linked to about 20 percent of all heart attacks.

Researchers found that in case of individuals that carry two copies of a certain chromosome were at an increased risk of developing heart disease.

Researchers also identified that lifestyle choices such as diet and exercise had a severe impact on an individual's risk of developing heart disease even with or without the genetic factor.
