Heart strain scans help spot hidden heart failure risk

Over 7.6 years, each 1% absolute decrease in heart strain was linked to a 13% higher risk of heart failure hospitalization or death.Over 7.6 years, each 1% absolute decrease in heart strain was linked to a 13% higher risk of heart failure hospitalization or death.

Two inherited risk markers linked to heart disease in relatives

Close relatives had an adjusted hazard ratio of 2.14 for heart disease when an initial family member had high levels of both markers compared with low levels.Close relatives had an adjusted hazard ratio of 2.14 for heart disease when an initial family member had high levels of both markers compared with low levels.

Combining health records and heart tests predicts heart failure

In the UK Biobank, combining three risk tools scored 0.811 for distinguishing future heart failure, versus 0.788 for clinical risk factors alone.In the UK Biobank, combining three risk tools scored 0.811 for distinguishing future heart failure, versus 0.788 for clinical risk factors alone.
