Abstract
Introduction: Cardiovascular disease persists as the leading cause of death worldwide despite continued advances in diagnostics and therapeutics. Our current approach to patients with cardiovascular disease is rooted in reductionism, which presupposes that all patients share a similar phenotype and will respond the same to therapy; however, this is unlikely as cardiovascular diseases exhibit complex heterogeneous phenotypes.
Areas covered: With the advent of high-throughput platforms for omics testing, phenotyping cardiovascular diseases has advanced to incorporate large-scale molecular data with classical history, physical examination, and laboratory results. Findings from genomics, proteomics, and metabolomics profiling have been used to define more precise cardiovascular phenotypes and predict adverse outcomes in population-based and disease-specific patient cohorts. These molecular data have also been utilized to inform drug efficacy based on a patient's unique phenotype.
Expert opinion: Multiscale phenotyping of cardiovascular disease has revealed diversity among patients that can be used to personalize pharmacotherapies and predict outcomes. Nonetheless, precision phenotyping for cardiovascular disease remains a nascent field that has not yet translated into widespread clinical practice despite its many potential advantages for patient care. Future endeavors that demonstrate improved pharmacotherapeutic responses and associated reduction in adverse events will facilitate mainstream adoption of precision cardiovascular phenotyping.
期刊介绍:
Expert Review of Precision Medicine and Drug Development publishes primarily review articles covering the development and clinical application of medicine to be used in a personalized therapy setting; in addition, the journal also publishes original research and commentary-style articles. In an era where medicine is recognizing that a one-size-fits-all approach is not always appropriate, it has become necessary to identify patients responsive to treatments and treat patient populations using a tailored approach. Areas covered include: Development and application of drugs targeted to specific genotypes and populations, as well as advanced diagnostic technologies and significant biomarkers that aid in this. Clinical trials and case studies within personalized therapy and drug development. Screening, prediction and prevention of disease, prediction of adverse events, treatment monitoring, effects of metabolomics and microbiomics on treatment. Secondary population research, genome-wide association studies, disease–gene association studies, personal genome technologies. Ethical and cost–benefit issues, the impact to healthcare and business infrastructure, and regulatory issues.
