Genomic medicine, challenge of cardiology
Keywords:
cardiology, cardiovascular diseases, cardiovascular pharmacology, pharmacogenetics, genomic medicine, precision medicine, personalized medicine, genic therapyAbstract
Introduction: Genomic, personalized or precision medicine, allows us to change the healthcare paradigm and offer a new focusing in the approach to many diseases, including cardiovascular diseases.
Objectives: Review and update knowledge about genomic, personalized or precision medicine, related to cardiovascular diseases.
Methods: A review of the updated international bibliography was carried out. The search was carried out in Google Scholar and free access articles were consulted in the PubMed and SciELO databases. For the search, the terms were used: Cardiology, cardiovascular diseases, cardiovascular pharmacology, pharmacogenetics, genomic medicine, precision medicine, personalized medicine, genic therapy; according to the Health Sciences descriptor.
Results: A historical review of the human genome project and the development of genomic, personalized or precision medicine related to cardiovascular health is made, and aspects related to cardiovascular pharmacogenetics and genic therapy are reviewed.
Conclusions: Cardiovascular medicine has the necessary elements to become more personalized through the transfer of discoveries related to the human genome to clinical practice.
