Cardiovascular medicine and Moore’s Law

S.J. Howell, J.W. Sear and J.D. Young

The first 10% of the full text of this article appears below.

Moore’s Law describes the breathless pace of development in microelectronics, with a doubling of the number of transistors on a silicon chip every 12–18 months.1 A phenomenon similar to Moore’s Law seems to apply to the fields of cardiovascular science and cardiovascular medicine, both of which are advancing at a similar breakneck pace. New drugs and therapies appear, only to be superseded or refined within a matter of a year or two. Our understanding of cardiovascular physiology is matching the pace of clinical development. In particular, molecular biology has opened the doors on mechanisms of unimagined complexity responsible for the function of individual cells. These advances have had a wide-ranging impact on . . .
