Heart Disease

Heart disease encompasses a range of conditions that affect a person’s heart—from coronary artery disease and arrhythmias to heart defects and many others. Genomics can provide powerful tools to understand the underlying causes of these conditions and may be used for diagnosis and to guide treatment. Scientists at the Scripps Research Translational Institute are conducting a number of studies that leverage the remarkable progress being made in genomic technology to further our understanding of these conditions.
