Abstract

The creation of the European Economic Community in 1957 triggered a long and painful process of economic integration, at first from the bottom up, through increased exchanges of goods, people and capital, then from the top down, with a renewed move towards common standards from the late 1970s. The euro was the most visible sign of increasing harmonisation. But equally important for European firms was the introduction in 2005 of a set of common accounting standards to ease comparisons between European firms and pave the way for more cross border takeovers.

In the last decade our understanding of cardiac pathophysiology has experienced significant advances linked to major advances in molecular genetics. Although many genes are associated today with cardiac diseases, the genetics of both hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and dilated cardiomyopathy have generated great interest. The familial nature of the disease in some patients has been very useful in this regard. In addition, there are also excellent experimental models to study the implications of the genetic abnormalities. Altogether the study of the molecular genetics of the cardiomyopathies should provide not only prognostic information but also new therapeutic alternatives.
