Just like fingerprints, no two people are exactly alike. And neither are their heart defects. That simple idea inspired Dr. Joy Lincoln, director of cardiovascular research at the Herma Heart Institute, Dr. Michael Mitchell, surgical director at the Herma Heart Institute, and Dr. Aoy Tomita-Mitchell, investigator at the Children's Research Institute, to spearhead work into cardiac precision medicine. “The typical approach to medicine has been to take the ‘one size fits all’ treatment strategy, but this does not benefit everyone,” said Dr. Lincoln. “We tailor-make suits to fit the individual wearing them, so for the same reason, we should tailor treatment plans for each person’s disease or defect.” Read this blog post to learn how Dr. Lincoln, Dr. Mitchell and Dr. Tomita-Mitchell, and their colleagues at Children’s Wisconsin, are using precision medicine to improve heart care for kids. https://lnkd.in/gAArqjJP
