Phenogroups added prognostic value to traditional risk models
🧪IL4RA➡️Novel Prognostic Biomarker
What's the background?
💟 DCM is not a final diagnosis, just a description of a phenotype. Actual disease is v heterogenous
💟 Lots of new HF drugs but not all patients benefit
💟 Need to target new and existing treatments to patient groups most likely to benefit
Why does this study matter?
💟Understanding DCM in a new way
💟Innovation in combining multidimensional data
💟Simple clinical validation model
💟Steps towards true precision medicine for patients with DCM
💟Identifying a new prognostic biomarker (IL4RA)
Complex, challenging study which was an enormous international team effort 🇬🇧🇺🇸🇳🇱🇸🇬 Not everyone is on twitter (!) but I'm so lucky to work with my mentor Prof Sanjay Prasad and this fab team! @imperialcollege@ImperialNHLI@CVGenomics
