Background: The full knowledge of the human genome, derived from its sequencing in 2001’s has led to increasingly understand the importance of the genes/environment interactions and has allow to characterize several genetic factors that can determine the individual susceptibility to certain diseases. Objectives: The emergence of predictive medicine is a consequence of this knowledge, and it plays an important role in chronic-degenerative diseases. Methods: We selected several studies by the critical analysis of the current literature about the predictive methods in cardiovascular diseases. Results: In cardiovascular diseases the predictive approach allows to screen high-risk subjects and to implement a personalized therapeutic approach. Conclusions: In the future the personalized predictive medicine will be the best approach in pre-clinical diagnosis and management of chronic-degenerative diseases.
