This rather slimline volume has as its aim ‘to help decision making in cardiovascular patients with a potentially inherited disease'. It has a basic introduction into genetics and molecular microbiology which includes some useful appendices of genetic codes and amino acid symbols. There are five chapters on the genetics of atherosclerosis and CHD risk factors, two chapters on connective tissue disorders, three on cardiomyopathies, four on arrhythmias, and one on congenital heart defects. The book finishes with a chapter on genome research and future healthcare.
