IT'S ALL IN THE GENES: KNOWING YOUR RISK FOR HEART FAILURE

Featuring: Jane E. Wilcox, MD, MSc
LISTEN TO PODCAST

Episode Summary

The Northwestern Medicine Cardiovascular Genetics Program at the Bluhm Cardiovascular Institute provides comprehensive cardiovascular care encompassing genetic testing and medical management for all forms of inherited cardiovascular diseases.

Jane E. Wilcox, MD, MSc discusses the role of genetics in the etiology of heart failure. She shares some of the challenges that exist in identifying the genetic determinants of common, complex diseases such as CHD and how with the use of genetic testing, the ability to diagnose those who are at risk for heart disease before it has developed, can help to assure the latest treatments for the best patient outcomes.
