Genomic and Precision Medicine: Cardiovascular Disease

by Geoffrey S. Ginsburg (Editor), Huntington F Willard (Editor)

Overview

Genomic and Precision Medicine: Cardiovascular Disease, Third Edition, focuses on the applications of genome discovery on the broad spectrum of cardiovascular disorders. Each chapter is organized for the application of genomics and personalized medicine tools and technologies to a) Risk Assessment and Susceptibility, b) Diagnosis and Prognosis, c) Pharmacogenomics and Precision Therapeutics, and d) Emerging and Future Opportunities in the field.

• Presents a comprehensive volume written and edited by cardiovascular genomic specialists
• Covers succinct commentary and key learning points that will assist providers with their local needs for the implementation of genomic and personalized medicine into practice
• Provides an overview on major opportunities for genomic and personalized medicine in practice
• Includes case studies that highlight the practical use of genomics in the management of patients
