Genetics Primer for the General Cardiologist

چکیده
Not all patients respond to drug therapy in a uniform and beneficial fashion. The goal of this review is to describe the contribution of genetic variation to drug response, with a focus on drugs used in cardiovascular therapy. Genetic approaches used to analyze rare and common adverse effects as well as variability in efficacy are presented first. The challenges and potential solutions to incorporating this body of knowledge into contemporary medical practice are then discussed.

What the practicing cardiologist needs to know about genetics and heart disease
As the inherited basis of some cardiovascular diseases have begun to be uncovered, a practical understanding of genetics has become important for the cardiologist. The advent of new studies on the inherited contributions to common traits and the emergence of genetic testing for a broad range of cardiac and vascular conditions will only increase the need for fluency in genetics. In this article ...
