Precision Cardiovascular Medicine: What is Different This Time
Explore how precision medicine is changing the face of cardiovascular medicine specifically. The session will examine the impact of combined phenotypic and genotypic characterization on optimizing response to therapeutics, trial design, improving outcomes, and redefining reimbursement.
- Genetic in CVD – Cardiomyopathy and genetics
- target molecule for therapy of genetic
- gene mutation variants are different the genes are the same
- LDL receptor led to development of Statins
- PCSK9 was developed from genetic observation on familial
- protein profiles very important
- Genotype more informative than phynotypes
- Genetic tools to direct drug discovery
Kevin Hrusovsky, Quanterix
- Biomarkers at the bedside
- Protein of inflammation in DM – phynotype, genotype – stratify population of patients for targeting therapeutics
- 6 inhibitions, role of protein, multiple cytokines involved
- Head injury – diagnostics must be very quick
- Insurance will require prevention emphasis
- Early diagnosis is facilitated by genokmics
