Medical Video: Butterfly Boy's Skin Falls Off With The Slightest Touch
Lately, more and more news of the death of young celebrities. Whether because of a long-standing illness or a sudden heart attack. The phenomenon of dying young should not be underestimated. Because this can suddenly attack anyone without signs or symptoms that precede. However, the latest research has found a special genetic code that can be one of the causes of young death. Here is the full review.
Genetic abnormalities that cause death
A study in the journal Circulation: Cardiovascular Genetics reveals that a special gene called CDH2 can cause a rare genetic disorder. This rare genetic disorder carried by the CDH2 gene is referred to as a weak heart in the right chamber (arrythmogenic right ventricle cardiomyopathy) This type of weak heart can trigger sudden death in people under 35 years of age. In people who have this disease, the heart does not function normally.
The body should have a special system that will replace damaged heart tissue with healthy new tissue. Meanwhile, in people with the CHD2 gene, damaged heart tissue is instead replaced with fatty scar tissue. It is this tissue abnormality that ultimately triggers cardiac arrhythmias (abnormal heartbeat) and cardiac arrest. If it is handled late, this condition can cause loss of consciousness to death in just a few minutes.
This genetic disorder can be passed on to posterity
The CHD2 gene has been taken from birth. So, this gene can also be passed on to your grandchildren. If your parents, grandparents, or relatives have died at a young age because of sudden cardiac arrest (sudden cardiac death), You are also at high risk of experiencing sudden death at a young age.
Usually the symptom that you or your parents have a weak heart disease is easy to faint for no apparent reason, difficulty breathing, and a rhythmic heartbeat. These symptoms usually get worse if you are physically active.
How to prevent dying young because of the innate gene?
Although the CHD2 gene is innate in nature, it does not mean that everyone who has the gene must die young. You can prevent the cause of death by looking at your diet. Reduce high-fat foods such as fried foods, junk food, factory-processed meat, and sweet snacks. Because, fatty foods can cause blockages in arteries. Increase consumption of foods that are good for heart health such as salmon and tuna, fresh fruits, nuts and olives.
In addition, living a healthy lifestyle is very important to prevent cardiac arrhythmias and cardiac arrest. Stop smoking and start exercising regularly. You should also start a health check with your doctor even if there are no complaints or symptoms of any disturbance in the heart
