Miami Cardiac & Vascular Institute Grand Rounds: Application of Genetics to Cardiovascular Medicine

November 15, 2023

Cardiovascular disease is the leading contributor to years lost due to disability or premature death among adults. Substantial progress has been made in the discovery of genetic characterization contributing to the risk of coronary artery disease and the refinement of polygenic risk scores. 

Please join us to hear Dr. Pradeep Natarajan discuss the evidence supporting the use of both clinical and genetic risk scoring to predict incident coronary artery disease and indicate the clinical response to some preventive therapies. 
 

This course is offered Virtual only
