До недавнего времени для повседневной практики клинической кардиологии достаточно было скромных знаний в области генетики, но прогресс в генетике и геномике кардинально меняет сердечно-сосудистую медицину. Идентификация генетической основы нескольких форм дислипидемии, гипертонии, диабета, кардиомиопатий и сосудистых заболеваний сигнализировала о новой важности генетики в клинической медицине. В этом своевременном томе доктора Дзау и Лью - оба пионеры в этой области - помогают кардиологам понять: как сердечно-сосудистая генетика может изменить способ практической кардиологии; какой материал имеет непосредственное значение для практикующего врача; как интегрировать генетику и геномику в практику, чтобы обеспечить актуальную медицинскую помощь пациентам.
Книга открывается вводными главами, затем обсуждаются: сердечно-сосудистые моногенные заболевания; сердечно-сосудистые полигенные заболевания; терапия и применение. Выдающиеся авторы пишут о своих областях экспертизы, делая эту книгу как авторитетной, так и всесторонней. Если вы хотите лучше оценить, как генетика и геномика уже формируют текущую практику и потенциально могут революционизировать кардиологию, эта надежная справочная книга - то, что вам нужно.
Until recently, a mod est knowledge of genetics w as more than adequate f or the daily pract ice of clinical card iology, but adv ances in geneti cs and genomics ar e changing cardiov ascul ar medicine in fundam ental ways. T he identific ation of the gen etic basis of several form s of dysl ipidemia, hyper tension, dia betes, car diomyopath ies, and v ascular disease s signal led the new imp ortance of genet ics in clinical medi cine.

Until recently, a humble familiarity with genetics would have been more than sufficient for the day-to-day practice in clinical cardiology. Advances in genetics, however, are altering cardiovascular medicine at a fundamental level. With the identification of genetic causes underlying several types of dyslipidaemia, hypertension, type 2 diabetes, cardiomyopathy and vascular disease, the role of genetics in medical practice has become paramount. This timely volume by Drs Dzau (for the NYU Grossman School of Medicine) and Choong-chin Liew (London's Barts Health NHS Trust) provides clinicians with the knowledge and understanding they need: How cardiovascular genetics can reshape cardiovascular medicine, which material is immediately relevant to practitioners, and how to implement genetics and genomics into clinical practice to deliver the best possible patient outcomes.

The identification of the genetic basis of several forms of dyslipidemia, hypertension, diabetes, cardiomyopathies, and vascular diseases signalled the new importance of genetics in clinical medicine. In this timely volume, Drs. Dzau and Liew – both pioneers in the area – help cardiologists understand: • how cardiovascular genetics may remodel the way cardiovascular medicine is practiced • what material has immediate relevance to the practicing clinician • how to incorporate genetics and genomics in your practice to ensure up-to-date patient care The book opens with introductory chapters, then discusses: • cardiovascular single gene disorders • cardiovascular polygenic disorders • therapies and applications Outstanding contributors write on their areas of expertise, making Cardiovascular Genetics and Genomics for the Cardiologist both authoritative and comprehensive. If you want to gain a better appreciation of how genetics and genomics are already shaping current practice and may potentially revolutionize cardiology, look no further than this dependable reference.
