Abstract

Over the last 10 years rapid advances in molecular biology have led to a much greater understanding of several important cardiac disorders. It is likely that over the next ten years great advances in management of these patients will occur as a result of further advances in molecular medicine. The moleculoar genetic basis of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and some forms of dilated cardiomyopathy are known, as well as long QT syndrome and Marfans syndrome.
