About the Book

This is a concise, but comprehensive volume for clinical cardiologists or medical students interested in learning how molecular genetics is being applied to prevention and treatment of heart diseases, from DNA tests to pharmacogenomics and gene-based therapeutics. The volume, written in a plain language, contains detailed figures. A rich glossary, three appendices, many references and several URLs provide additional sources of information.
