Abstract
A method for identifying and evaluating susceptible families for cardiac disease risk is presented from the perspective of the role of genes in heart disease. If useful applications of genetic aggregations could be integrated into nursing practice, preventive selective interventions could be implemented. Nursing practice aimed at risk reduction in susceptible families is more efficient for reducing disease mortality.Keywords
