Study tracking heart risk using genetic and blood information
Part of Eyes & vision, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 45 and under 65 years old
- Your heart disease risk score is above 7.5% (from a standard calculator using health info)
- You can access and use a smartphone
- You have not previously been diagnosed with coronary (heart) disease like a heart attack or needing stents or bypass surgery
- You do not currently use high-intensity cholesterol medicines like certain high-dose statins or PCSK9 medicines

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 images of the back of your eye and certain substances in your blood can help identify people at high risk for heart disease. If you're having tests for chest pain or other heart concerns, this research may help improve early detection.
This study uses your blood to create special lab cells (induced pluripotent stem cells) to better understand heart-related differences between people with coronary artery disease and generally healthy older adults. It may help researchers learn what biological traits are linked to heart risk and how those traits work.
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 tests new, personalized ways to prevent heart disease in people with metabolic syndrome. It aims to see if custom approaches can lower your risk of heart attacks and strokes.
This study uses your genetic information (a polygenic risk score) to guide personalized blood pressure management. It aims to help people with high blood pressure and overall poor heart health improve their levels through tailored advice.
