This study aims to explore the genetic links between heart disease, specifically cardiomyopathy, and cancer. We will examine genetic mutations in cardiomyopathy-related genes to see how they might contribute to both conditions. By comparing the genetic data of cancer patients and individuals without cancer, we hope to uncover important connections that could lead to better prevention and treatment strategies for these diseases.

Its findings could significantly impact public health by improving early detection and developing more effective treatments for people at risk of both heart disease and cancer.
