Gene therapy for the treatment of heart failure: promise postponed

Abstract excerpt

Gene therapy has emerged as a powerful tool in targeting the molecular mechanisms implicated in heart failure. Refinements in vector technology, including the development of recombinant adeno-associated vectors, have allowed for safe, long-term, and efficient gene transfer to the myocardium. These advancements, coupled with evolving delivery techniques, have placed gene therapy as a viable therapeutic option for...
