These questions address age, gender, weight, waist circumference, smoking, blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes history, and family cardiovascular history.
The results are clear: this home test may identify 65% of high-risk cardiovascular disease patients. It revolutionizes preventative healthcare by screening for coronary atherosclerosis without imaging or radiation.
“We’ve developed a self-report tool that effectively identifies moderate to severe coronary atherosclerosis,” says Bergström. “This tool not only saves time but also potentially saves lives by guiding early intervention strategies.”
Alcohol intake, weight trends, and family health history are covered in the simple questionnaire. The test provides insights, like blood tests and clinic exams, by analyzing your responses with a specialized algorithm.
“The beauty of this test lies in its accessibility,” explains Professor Bergström. “If widely implemented in healthcare, it could revolutionize how we approach cardiovascular risk assessment, ensuring timely treatment for those who need it most.”
