Description
Cardiovascular/Heart Disease (CVD) is commonly characterized when coronary arteries struggle to supply the heart with enough blood, oxygen, and nutrients. Some symptoms include chest pain, shortness of breath, pain in the neck, numbness, weakness, or coldness in the arms or legs, dizziness or fainting, and fatigue or exhaustion. Cardiovascular disease affects an estimated 47-54% of Black adults in America (Cleveland Clinic). The purpose of this study is to identify and assess the pathogenicity of the CD36 variants associated with cardiovascular disease.
