Psychological issues in genetic testing for inherited cardiovascular diseases.
Clinical genetic testing is now available for many cardiovascular diseases, including hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), familial dilated cardiomyopathy, and arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy, channelopathies such as long-QT syndrome (LQTS), aortic diseases such as Marfan syndrome, and disorders of cholesterol metabolism such as familial hypercholesterolemia (FH). Utility and inte...
متن کاملGenetic testing in cardiovascular disease.
Genetic testing is increasingly becoming possible for diagnosis, susceptibility testing, and prognostication in cardiovascular medicine. The practicing cardiologist, therefore, needs to be familiar with the clinical utilities and limitations of genetic testing. This review explores the major approaches to genetic testing and issues in test interpretation. Specific applications to cardiovascular...
متن کاملPlatelet function testing in cardiovascular diseases.
Case presentation 1: Mr F. is a 60-year-old man with unstable angina who takes aspirin, 81 mg/day. A platelet function test demonstrates that his platelets are “resistant” to aspirin. Should his treatment be changed? Case presentation 2: Mr K. is a 60year-old man with unstable angina who takes aspirin, 81 mg/day, and clopidogrel, 75 mg/day.

متن کاملGenetic testing for complex diseases
It is widely recognized nowadays that complex diseases are caused by, amongst the others, multiple genetic factors. The recent advent of genome-wide association study (GWA) has triggered a wave of research aimed at discovering genetic factors underlying common complex diseases. While the number of reported susceptible genetic variants is increasing steadily, the application of such findings int...
متن کاملGenetic Aspects of Cardiovascular Diseases in Animals.
THE occurrence of specific types of cardio-vascular disease in different species, breeds, and strains or families of animals is pertinent to a consideration of the role of heredity in these disorders. Variations in the types and prevalence of cardiac and arterial disease in different genetically related groups of animals are no,t explainable at present on the basis of environmental influences o...
