Vascular Medicine Conference-CVC 2026

Vascular genetics dives into how inherited genetic variations affect the structure, function, and susceptibility to diseases of our blood vessels. Certain mutations in specific genes can make people more likely to develop issues like familial aneurysms, arterial dissections, and early-onset atherosclerosis. By understanding these genetic factors, healthcare providers can spot high-risk patients and take preventive measures early on.

Key tools for assessing vascular genetic risk include genetic testing, evaluating family history, and conducting molecular analyses. This information allows for personalized approaches, such as customized lifestyle changes, medication plans, and monitoring programs. With the latest advancements in vascular genomics, we're moving toward precision medicine, where genetic insights shape risk assessments, prevention strategies, and treatments, ultimately enhancing long-term cardiovascular health.
