"From Reading the Genome for Risk to Rewriting it for Cardiovascular Health"
Sekar Kathiresan, MD

Learning Objectives: Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to:
- Understand the three major genetic models for myocardial infarction risk – monogenic, polygenic, and somatic
- Describe how natural resistance mutations lower plasma LDL lifelong in some people and lead to protection against heart attack
- Understand the development of a new class of medicines, which can edit the genome in an adult and lead to permanent lowering of LDL cholesterol after a single treatment
