Pharmacogenetics in cardiovascular disorders: an update on the principal drugs.

This is, in fact, one of the fields in which genetic variants have already been most successful and useful to clinicians. Here, we briefly review the current state of the art on pharmacogenomics and its applications to modern cardiovascular medicine.
