Gene therapy for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, what's new

May 18, 2024|Tag: |

Cardiomyopathies are a group of diseases that affect the heart muscle, causing impaired function of the heart muscle and even dangerous complications. Despite the efforts of medical research, to date there is no definitive cure. Research is also focusing on gene therapies that aim to correct the genetic mutations underlying some forms of cardiomyopathy. Informing correctly on the one hand avoids generating false expectations in patients, while on the other it supports funding and efforts of the scientific community. For these reasons AICARM inaugurates a new column which will present the news and developments for the treatment of cardiomyopathies. We will present works that come from institutions and pharmaceutical companies, both Italian and foreign, always with authority and independence from the market, and in favor of patients with cardiomyopathy and their doctors.
