挑戰模式

閱讀理解

Why has the field of heart failure treatment shifted toward gene therapy?

Because surgeons prefer mechanical implants over biological interventions.

Because traditional drugs have been proven to completely cure heart failure.

Traditional treatments often only manage symptoms rather than addressing the root genetic drivers of the disease.
