Abstract:
The past few years have witnessed considerable advances in the field of cardiovascular pharmacogenomics, not least as a result of genome-wide surveys. We here briefly review recent advances supporting the value of genetic information in the treatment of patients with betablockers, statins and warfarin. Although definitive proof that genotyping can change outcomes of patients with cardiovascular diseases await randomised trials, personalised cardiovascular pharmacotherapy is on the verge of entering clinical practice.

The essential diagnostic tools for detecting myocardial necrosis and monitoring individuals suspected of having acute coronary syndrome (ACS) include:
Troponins
Troponins, particularly cardiac troponins I and T, are the most precise and sensitive markers of myocardial injury. They are detectable within 4-6 hours of myocardial injury and remain...
