Cardiovascular Pharmacogenetics /

This volume intends to provide a panorama of our current understanding of the role of genetic information in the management of cardiovascular disease. A recurring plea from the contributors is the need for more hypothesis-driven, rigorously conducted and analysed clinical research. Perhaps this comp...
