cardiovascular disease
✔✔Genomics - ✔✔study of all genes in the human genome as well as their interaction
with other genes, the individuals environment, and the influence of cultural and
psychosocial factors

genetic variations
✔✔Components of genetic risk assessment - ✔✔Accurate family history for 3
generations or genetic blood testing to reveal genes
✔✔Relationship between genetics and environment - ✔✔a patient may have a gene
increasing risks of disease while also being exposed to environmental factors that also
increase risk for disease. i.e. lung cancer and radon gas
✔✔Cultural competence - ✔✔A dynamic, fluid, continuous process whereby an
individual, system or healthcare agency find meaningful and useful care delivery
strategies based in knowledge of the cultural heritage, beliefs, attitudes, and behavior of

that faces them at a higher risk of having a disease such as cancer, diabetes, or
cardiovascular disease
