Abstract excerpt
The aim of this review is to emphasize the role of molecular biology in the diagnosis and therapy of major cardiomyopathies and cardiovascular risk factors. Therefore, we have underlined the genes responsible for or associated with these diseases while highlighting a role in the response to therapy (pharmacogenomics). Cardiovascular diseases and its related risk factors were divided into monogenic and polygenic...
