| Core Tip |
The use of genome editing to treat rhythm disturbances at the substrate level could provide a revolutionary treatment for disorders that the current standard of care is inadequate. Our knowledge of the disease is the only limit in identifying a perfect genome editing tool for several rhythm disturbances. As our understanding of gene vectors and transfer techniques progress, a novel therapy approach will be upon us, where cardiac muscles are altered to be impervious to rhythm disturbances, enhancing patients’ quality of living and relieving the burden on healthcare organizations. Ethical issues will eventually arise, as the treatments will be expensive. |
