Genomic medicine is a powerful tool with great potential to improve outcomes in the primary care setting. From a broad perspective, genomic medicine can be applied to rare disease, common disease and pharmacogenetics. There are applications in which it can be used to better identify rare disease, improve screening for common disease, reduce adverse drug effects and help to identify the right medication more quickly. This article provides specific examples of clinical applications for genomic medicine in the realm of cardiovascular disease to provide a better understanding of its potential use in primary care.
基因组医学是一种强大的工具，在改善初级医疗环境中的治疗效果方面具有巨大潜力。从广义上讲，基因组医学可应用于罕见病、常见疾病和药物遗传学。在一些应用中，它可用于更好地识别罕见病、改进常见疾病的筛查、减少药物不良反应，并有助于更快地确定正确的药物。本文提供了基因组医学在心血管疾病领域临床应用的具体实例，以便更好地理解其在初级医疗中的潜在用途。
