They are affiliated with Mayo Clinic - Rochester. They graduated from SHER-I-KASHMIR INSTITUTE OF MEDICAL SCIENCES (S.K.I.M.S.) BEMINA / S.K.I.M.S. This emerging subspecialty may ultimately require a new cardiovascular subspecialist, the genetic cardiologist, equipped with these combined skills, to permit interpretation of genetic variation within the context of phenotype and to extend the utility of genetic testing. Iftikhar Kullo Professor at Mayo Clinic Rochester, Minnesota, United States 224 followers 201 connections Join to view profile Mayo Clinic Burn Hall, Srinagar, Kashmir Activity Congratulations to. Iftikhar Kullo, MD is a cardiology specialist in Rochester, MN and has over 35 years of experience in the medical field. The integration of clinical cardiovascular findings, including those obtained from physical examination, imaging, and functional assessment, with genetic information allows for improved diagnosis, prognostication, and cascade family testing to identify and to manage risk, and in some cases to provide genotype-specific therapy. With these advances and challenges, there is a need for specialized programs combining both cardiovascular medicine and genetics expertise. These include genetic markers, circulating biomarkers, and. Kullo is investigating the use of new methodologies in refining cardiovascular risk stratification. Through his Atherosclerosis and Lipid Genomics Laboratory, Dr. Emerging challenges include interpretation of genetic test results and the evaluation, counseling, and management of genetically at-risk family members who have inherited pathogenic variants but do not yet manifest disease. His research interests include biomarkers of cardiovascular risk. There have also been great advances in clinical diagnostic methods, as well as in therapies to ameliorate symptoms, slow progression of disease, and mitigate the risk of adverse outcomes. Precision Cardiovascular Medicine: State of Genetic Testing. Cardiovascular genetics is a rapidly evolving subspecialty within cardiovascular medicine, and its growth is attributed to advances in genome sequencing and genetic testing and the expanding understanding of the genetic basis of multiple cardiac conditions, including arrhythmias (channelopathies), heart failure (cardiomyopathies), lipid disorders, cardiac complications of neuromuscular conditions, and vascular disease, including aortopathies. Kullo, MD has been registered with the National Provider Identifier database since February 14, 2006, and his NPI number is 1104890581.
