Full Description

This exam analyzes the genetic contributions to atherosclerosis and related vascular diseases. Participants will describe the genetic factors implicated in endothelial dysfunction and plaque formation.

The etiology of atherosclerosis is multifactorial, with genetic contributions playing a pivotal role. Knowledge in this area is critical for developing novel interventions aimed at reducing cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.

The exam will evaluate candidates' abilities to articulate the pathophysiological mechanisms linked to genetics in atherosclerosis and their implications for patient management.

Participants should prepare to discuss the latest research on genetic factors influencing the progression of vascular diseases.

Sample Questions

What genetic factors are associated with the development of atherosclerosis?
How does endothelial dysfunction relate to genetic predispositions in vascular diseases?

Field: Medical and Health Sciences

Subfield: Medical Genetics

Specialization: Genetic Aspects of Cardiovascular Diseases
