Transforming cardiovascular medicine with precision approaches

Despite medical advances, cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death worldwide. Hear from the authors of a Frontiers in Science lead article as they argue for a radical shift in how new cardiovascular medicines are discovered, developed, and tested—moving beyond one-size-fits-all drug therapies toward precision medicine.

The authors call for greater interdisciplinary and intersectoral collaboration, with an emphasis on data science, across the entire cardiovascular research and innovation pathway to tackle this leading cause of death.

Alongside a panel of fellow experts, the authors will discuss strategies to engage policymakers in securing the funding, resources, and regulatory frameworks needed to ensure that scientific advances benefit everyone—including those in low- and middle-income countries.
