Blood and genetic tests to predict future heart problems
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks for new body markers (including possible genetic traits) to better predict who is likely to have future cardiovascular events. Your results could help doctors estimate risk and choose prevention strategies more accurately.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an adult (18 years or older).
- You are visiting the Atherosclerosis Screening and Prevention clinic for heart risk factor management.
- You are in prevention care: either no prior heart/brain/leg artery disease, or you have had those conditions in the past and are in follow-up.
- You have health insurance coverage.
- You agree in writing to join the study and to possible genetic testing.
- You are not under legal protection (for example, unable to consent by law).

This trial looks at how learning about your genetic risk for heart disease might help prevent it. You will get a personalized report and guidance.
This study looks at whether adding genetic information to a standard NHS Health Check can better predict a person’s risk of coronary artery disease (CAD). If you qualify, you may be asked to provide genetic information to help refine future risk estimates.
This trial uses a polygenic risk score to see if knowing your genetic risk for coronary artery disease can help prevent a first heart attack. If you have an intermediate 10-year risk and no prior heart events, you may be eligible.
This study looks at whether certain blood markers can help explain or predict high blood pressure in adults. It may help researchers understand hypertension better, which could support future prevention or treatment.
This study builds a biobank, meaning it collects and stores your health information, blood, and possibly heart-related samples to help researchers learn why heart conditions happen. You might join if you have certain heart diagnoses and are having cardiac surgery for a problem other than an aortic valve issue.
This study follows people to understand heart disease risk by combining a heart risk score with genetic risk (polygenic risk). It may help improve how doctors identify who is at higher risk and could guide prevention planning.
