[BOOK][B] Cardiovascular genetics for clinicians
PAFM Doevendans, AAM de Wilde - 2001 - books.google.com
All physicians practicing medicine encounter patients suffering from cardiovascular disease.
This book has been outlined in such a way that vascular surgeons, general internists,
neurologists and cardiologists should be able to use it. The book covers the complete scope
of cardiac diseases in addition to chapters on hypertension and atherosclerosis. In many
patients there is a family history of cerebrovascular accidents, myocardial infarction or
peripheral arterial disease. Also in patients reporting collaps, palpitations and arrhythmias …

When the double helical structure of DNA was first proposed in 1953 by Watson and Crick in
a two-page Nature article (1), no one could have predicted the tremendous impact this
discovery would have in establishing the study of human genetic diseases. This discovery
was an important landmark in the development of the field of cardiovascular genetics. In the
last 30 years, several technological advances have fueled a surge in cardiovascular genetic
research. Such advances include the understanding of biochemical components of DNA, the …

Cardiovascular genetics
Cardiovascular diseases represent the major cause of mortality and morbidity occupying a
considerable part of medical expenses in the world. There are important and urgent social
needs to overcome the disorders by elucidating molecular etio-pathological mechanisms to
establish a bridgehead for developing novel strategic medicine including new drugs, new
therapeutic devices or new biomarkers, as well as novel preventive tactics. For this end,
genetics has played a potent role mainly because of its nature, hypothesis-free …

NKX2. 5 encodes a transcription factor that has a role in heart development. Mutations of this
gene can cause different types of congenital heart disease. The cardiac MyBPYC protein is
associated with the basic unit of muscle contraction, ie sarcomere. MYBPC3 mutation is one
the most common cause of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. It is also involved in left ventricular
noncompaction cardiomyopathy, as well as dilated cardiomyopathy. KCNQ1 encodes a
protein belonging to potassium channels in the inner ear and heart muscles. PKP2 encodes …
