    Current methods are inadequate in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases, which reduce the quality of life and even threaten the lives of millions of people around the world. New and effective methods are constantly being sought for this. Correcting genetic changes or adding missing genes, especially in heart muscle cells, stands out as a potential method to improve heart functions. Gene therapy methods are also seen as a promising method in the treatment of these patients.
