Mending a broken heart—the genetics of heart disease (2018)
Journal Article
Clark, N., Alibhai, A., & Rutland, C. S. (2018). Mending a broken heart—the genetics of heart disease. Frontiers for Young Minds, 6, Article 19. https://doi.org/10.3389/frym.2018.00019

Heart disease is a major cause of health problems worldwide. There are many different types of heart disease, but one that is fairly common and can have lots of negative side effects is called cardiomyopathy. We know that humans and many mammals, inc...
