Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Genetic research in the cardiovascular field has come a long way and has brought critical knowledge about the molecular basis and mechanisms of diseases such as cardiomyopathy arrhythmias and skeletal myopathies/dystrophies with cardiac involvement. This wealth of information has led to the development of novel therapeutic interventions, which are tailored for specific molecular changes, such as variants in the LMNA, MYBPC3, TTN, and GLA genes, among others (https://www.clinicaltrials.gov/search?cond=Cardiomyopathy&intr=gene%20therapy), thus making specific genetic information both a diagnostic tool and a pre-requisite to enter ongoing clinical trials or be the recipient of approved gene therapy. In this issue, we will explore how genetic information has shaped the current clinical landscape, modifying patient management and leading to more customized interventions such as gene and targeted drug therapies.
