From genetics to smart watches: developments in precision cardiology

Natalia Trayanova. Nat Rev Cardiol. 2019 Feb.

Abstract

Precision cardiology is a vision of a health-care approach that identifies the optimal course of care for each patient. Although precision cardiology is still in its nascent stage, new approaches and methodologies are being developed to achieve this goal and to overcome technical and implementation barriers. In 2018, several high-impact studies made progress in this direction.
