Genetic risk score and heart health study
Part of Eyes & vision, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study uses your genetic information to estimate your risk for heart disease. It may help you and your doctor decide if you should take medication to protect your heart.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 45 and 64 years old
- Your calculated risk for a heart attack or stroke in the next 10 years is above 7.5%
- You have a smartphone and can use it for the study
- You have never had a heart attack, stroke, or heart procedure like a stent or bypass surgery
- You are not currently on a strong statin (like high-dose atorvastatin or rosuvastatin) and have not had issues with two or more statins in the past

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 sharing a genetic risk score for heart disease can help people make heart-healthy changes. If you're not on cholesterol medication, you may be able to join.
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 is testing a new way to assess heart and blood vessel risk specifically for women aged 40 to 65. It will help doctors better understand your personal risk and may lead to earlier prevention measures.
This study uses a CT scan of your heart (CCTA) and advanced computer analysis to see how well it can predict heart risks compared to detailed inside-look tests (IVUS, OCT, NIRS). If you have chest pain and have had certain heart scans, this trial may help doctors understand your condition better.
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.
