Date:9/19/2007

ersonalized cardiovascular care. Researchers, cardiologists, policy makers, medical industry and anyone with an interest in personalized medicine and genomics will want to attend.

"By identifying the genes that can cause and cure heart disease, researchers hold in their hands the potential for personalized medicine. Understanding research advances in the science of the human gene and its application to cardiovascular disease will make possible life saving changes in cardiac care," says Dr. Timothy McCaffrey, who is the program co-chair for the one-day symposium as well as director of the McCormick Genomics Center at The George Washington University. The McCormick Genomics Center is among the nation's innovative leaders in genomics research and application and is one of the few centers in the world to focus on cardiovascular genomic research. Dr. McCaffrey will lead a faculty of renowned experts, in the program.

"Leveraging the enormous resources of The George Washington University is a key part of how the Institute is approaching its mission to accelerate the pace of scientific discovery, reduce mortality and improve the quality of life of Americans with cardiovascular disease," said Dr. Richard J. Katz, who is the Director of the Cheney Cardiovascular Institute and Director of the Division of Cardiology. "An educational program like this one, on personalized medicine in cardiac care, holds the key to the next major advancements in cardiovascular care, which researchers, clinicians and policy makers must understand is one of the ways we're attacking cardiovascular disease and working to achieve our mission."

The symposium, titled "Personalized Medicine: The Genomic Revolution in Cardiac Care," is designated for 6 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits and will convene on October 25, 2007 at The George Washington University Hospital Auditorium, in Washington, DC.
