Summary

How Can Genetics Help in the Management of Heart Failure? Guest: Naveen L. Pereira, M.D. Hosts: Paul A. Friedman, M.D. Cardiomyopathy is an important cause of heart failure and can be inherited or have a genetic basis. Identifying a genetic cause for cardiomyopathy not only provides a molecular diagnosis of the disease but holds significant importance in screening family members enabling early identification of disease, providing prognostic information to the patient and increasingly offers the opportunity for therapy that is genetic based. Understanding the genetics of cardiomyopathy also helps identify new pathophysiologic mechanisms of disease that may help in the development of new therapeutic targets. Topics Discussed: Genetic Testing as a tool to determine inherited cardiomyopathy The yield of genetic testing for cardiomyopathy What results can be expected after genetic testing is performed? Can genetics provide new insight into the pathophysiology of disease, specifically cardiomyopathies?
