Current therapies being administered within the clinic, such as beta-blockers, diuretics, vasodilators, angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, left ventricular assisted devices (LVADs), pacemakers, defibrillators, and/or stents (3, 4), have significantly increased patient survival outcome and can slow heart failure progression (3, 5). The gene discussed is ACE; the disease is heart failure.
