THE ROLE OF PERSONALIZED MEDICINE IN CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE MANAGEMENT

Abstract

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, with a growing burden on healthcare systems. Traditional approaches to cardiovascular treatment have often been based on generalized protocols that do not account for the genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors that affect individual patients. Personalized medicine offers a promising solution, focusing on tailoring medical treatment to the individual characteristics of each patient. This article explores the role of personalized medicine in the management of cardiovascular disease, emphasizing advances in genetic testing, biomarker discovery, and pharmacogenomics. By integrating these technologies, healthcare providers can optimize treatment plans, improve patient outcomes, and reduce adverse effects. The article also discusses the challenges and future directions in the implementation of personalized medicine in cardiovascular care.
