Genomic Medicine in Electrophysiology

Genomic medicine in electrophysiology combines genetics and heart rhythm studies to better understand and treat heart conditions. It analyzes how a person's unique genetic makeup affects their heart's electrical system, which controls heartbeat and rhythm. By identifying genetic variations that may lead to arrhythmias (irregular heartbeats), this field aims to personalize treatment plans, improving outcomes and minimizing side effects. In essence, genomic medicine helps tailor interventions based on individual genetic profiles, leading to more effective management of heart rhythm disorders.
