It consists of 4 chambers: 2 atria (left and right) and 2 ventricles (left and right). Blood that has been enriched with oxygen in the lungs enters the left atrium and then flows into the left ventricle from where it\u2019s pumped to all other parts of the body. Left ventricular end-diastolic&nbsp;volume (LVEDV) is the volume of blood in a relaxed left ventricle right before it contracts and pumps blood into the body.&nbsp;The average LVEDV is 120mL for women and 150mL for men and can be used as a measure of heart health. This genome-wide association study examined the genomes of 36,000 individuals of European ancestry to better understand the genetic basis of LVEDV. The study identified 14 genomic regions associated with LVEDV adjusted for body-surface-area. The study also found a strong inverse relationship between the polygenic score for larger LVEDV and&nbsp;hypothyroidism. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>DID YOU KNOW?<\/strong> On average, the human heart pumps ~2,000 gallons (7,600 liters) of blood throughout the body every day. <a href=\"https:\/\/healthblog.uofmhealth.org\/heart-health\/anatomy-of-a-human-heart\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">[SOURCE]<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>SAMPLE RESULTS:<\/strong> Learn more about the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/nebula.org\/blog\/nebula-library-unlocking-genetic-research\/\">Nebula Research Library<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/nebula.org\/whole-genome-sequencing\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"375\" src=\"http:\/\/nebula.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Nebula-personalized-results-genomics-1024x375.png\" alt=\"left ventricular end-diastolic volume sample results\" class=\"wp-image-1066\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nebula.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Nebula-personalized-results-genomics-1024x375.png 1024w, https:\/\/nebula.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Nebula-personalized-results-genomics-300x110.png 300w, https:\/\/nebula.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Nebula-personalized-results-genomics-768x281.png 768w, https:\/\/nebula.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Nebula-personalized-results-genomics-1536x562.png 1536w, https:\/\/nebula.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Nebula-personalized-results-genomics.png 924w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>LVEDV-ASSOCIATED VARIANTS:<\/strong> rs1873164, rs9797817, rs72967533, rs72840788, rs73028849, rs1976402, rs6458349, rs9480737, rs7502466, rs12499670, rs10850034<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>ADDITIONAL RESOURCES:<\/strong><br><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=X9ZZ6tcxArI\" target=\"_blank\">The heart (Video)<\/a><br><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.heart.org\/en\/health-topics\/congenital-heart-defects\/about-congenital-heart-defects\/how-the-healthy-heart-works\" target=\"_blank\">How the heart works<\/a><br><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.healthline.com\/health\/end-diastolic-volume\" target=\"_blank\">End-diastolic volume<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>YOU MAY ALSO BE INTERESTED IN:<br><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/nebula.org\/blog\/genetics-of-lvef-pirruccello-2020\/\">Left ventricular ejection fraction (Pirruccello, 2020)<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/nebula.org\/blog\/genetics-of-lvesv-pirruccello-2020\/\">Left ventricular end-systolic&nbsp;volume (Pirruccello, 2020)<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/nebula.org\/blog\/genetics-of-stroke-volume-pirruccello-2020\/\">Stroke volume (Pirruccello, 2020)<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/nebula.org\/blog\/genetics-of-cardiomyopathy-warren-2017\/\">Cardiomyopathy (Meder, 2014)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>WEEKLY UPDATE:<\/strong> May 19, 2020<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>STUDY TITLE: Analysis of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging in 36,000 individuals yields genetic insights into dilated cardiomyopathy SUMMARY: Identification of 14 genetic variants associated with the left ventricular end-diastolic&nbsp;volume (LVEDV).
