Problem
How has investigation into congenital heart defects, such as VSD, contributed to possible cures for heart attack damage? Summarize what VSD is and how it relates to the evolution of the mammalian heart. Do you think the application of molecular and evolutionary knowledge of congenital heart disease to heart attack damage is promising? What kind of impact could that have on health care in the United States and beyond? Once upon a time (and even today), people pursuing health care fields were not required to learn much about molecular genetics and molecular biology. Do you think advances in molecular biology make it important for people pursuing health care fields to have an understanding of the molecular basis of the body?
