This is the conclusion made by Swedish scientists.
In the result of a series of experiments conducted by the University of Uppsala (Sweden) was confirmed the hypothesis about the preservation of the human body information about the transferred heart attack at the genetic level.
As we found out, the reason for this phenomenon acts as a specific reaction of the body during a heart attack. To protect tissues during the acute phase of pain, and also for the possibility of further recovery, the body activates a particular set of genes. What epigenetic changes and chemical modification of DNA initiated by the action of specific genes, and leave “record” on the disease. In experiment were involved in patients after myocardial infarction.
As stated by the representative of the research group Asa Johansson, the relevance of the findings is important for understanding the essence and mechanisms of action of cardiovascular diseases, the occurrence of which heredity is one of the most influential factors.
