Transforming Medical Paradigms: A Cutting-Edge Review of Genomic and Robotic Medical and Surgical Approaches in the Battle Against Diabetes, Hypertension, and Cardiovascular Issues

Cureus. 2023 Oct 13;15(10):e46998. doi: 10.7759/cureus.46998. eCollection 2023 Oct.

Abstract

This article provides an in-depth review of the current state of management for diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease, focusing on advancements from genomics to robotics. It explores the role of genomic markers in personalized medicine, offering tailored treatment options for these chronic conditions. The article also examines the efficacy of various pharmacological and surgical interventions, including bariatric surgery for diabetes and device-based treatments for hypertension. A comparative analysis is presented to evaluate the cost-effectiveness and patient outcomes between medical and surgical approaches. The review concludes that while personalized medicine and minimally invasive surgical techniques show promise, more high-quality comparative research is needed. The ultimate goal is to integrate these emerging technologies within a framework of evidence-based medicine to improve patient outcomes and health equity.
