Precision Cardiology is the emerging paradigm to treat cardiovascular diseases in agreement with a personalized approach to clinical practice. Here we discuss that, in the particular case of heart-related infirmities taking into account the social factors determinant for health and disease is mandatory. We also present some challenges and perspectives on the incorporation of social information ...
