New research has uncovered a mechanism underlying cardiac hypertrophy in mice, spurring novel avenues for potential treatments.
Advances in genomic medicine are playing an increasingly important role in the field of cardiology. Better analysis and understanding of patient genomic and epigenomic information can enable more personalised patient treatment and medical intervention. Here, Professor John Giannios considers the potential to use genomic medicine to prevent, monitor, diagnose and…
