Abstract

In recent years, precision medicine has steadily risen to the forefront of many aspects of medicine, including cardiology [1]. While this field has exponentially expanded and advanced in the last few years, a lot of questions remain regarding exact definition, usage, and clinical applications [2,3]. This review will provide a brief synopsis of the current state of precision medicine, its limitations, future directions, as well as analyze emerging clinical applications in cardiology.

Keywords: Cardiac Imaging; Genomics; Heart failure; Microbiome; Precision Medicine.
