State of the Art and Perspectives of Gene Therapy in Heart Failure. A Scientific Statement of the Heart Failure Association of the ESC, the ESC Council on Cardiovascular Genomics and the ESC Working Group on Myocardial & Pericardial Diseases

Abstract excerpt

Gene therapy has recently become a reality in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. Strategies to modulate gene expression using antisense oligonucleotides or small interfering RNA are proving to be safe and effective in the clinic. Adeno-associated viral vector-based gene delivery and CRISPR-Cas9-based genome editing have emerged as efficient strategies for gene delivery and repair in humans. Overall, gene...
