Lessons from the DCM Precision Medicine Study: We CAN Prevent DCM and HF! (Ray Hershberger, MD)

We have a remarkable opportunity to prevent DCM, and hence heart failure. Dr. Hershberger reviews the genetics of dilated cardiomyopathy leveraging the recent papers from the DCM Precision Medicine Study to illustrate the utility of genetic testing.
Objectives:
1. Define the genetic basis of dilated cardiomyopathy.
2. Implement key clinical genetics concepts in the care of patients with heritable cardiovascular disease.
