RNA splicing and cardiovascular disease: a guide for cardiologists

Listen to this summary

This review explores the role of alternative RNA splicing in cardiovascular disease, focusing on how cardiac-specific splicing programs influence heart development, function, and disease progression. The authors aim to highlight diagnostic and therapeutic opportunities arising from advancements in transcriptomics and splicing modulation strategies, while addressing the challenges of translating these findings into clinical practice for cardiovascular conditions. Ultimately, they position RNA splicing as a promising target for precision medicine in cardiology.
