Genetic risk test for heart disease prevention
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a 5% to 20% chance of a heart event in the next 10 years based on standard risk factors.
- You have never had a heart attack, been diagnosed with coronary artery disease, or had a stroke.
- You have already had genetic testing done as part of a research study that allows researchers to contact you again.
- You currently get your primary care at one of the participating clinics.
- You are not currently taking cholesterol-lowering medications like statins or ezetimibe.
- Your LDL (bad) cholesterol is under 190 mg/dL.

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 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.
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 is testing whether a special blood test (genomic predictor) can help doctors better manage heart and kidney risks in people with type 2 diabetes. You may benefit from learning your personal risk score and getting more tailored care.
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.
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.
