Blood Test to Determine Odds for Heart Disease
I just read an article that came out yesterday. The FDA has approved a new blood test that predicts your future risk of heart disease. This is felt to be particularly useful for women. The study was done with almost 4,600 individuals that had no history of heart disease and were followed for five years. Since most individuals don’t have symptoms, this could help physicians help their patients prevent future heart incidents. Would you want to know if you have a high risk? Why or why not?
