Researchers at the University of Hong Kong (HKUMed) developed an AI-powered blood test called CardiOmicScore [1]. This tool analyzes thousands of proteins and metabolites to predict major cardiovascular diseases [1]. It identifies potential health issues up to 15 years before symptoms emerge [1].
The technology offers a significant improvement over traditional static genetic risk scores [1]. By evaluating dynamic biological markers, it provides a more accurate picture of a patient's current and future heart health [1]. This advancement could allow doctors to start preventive treatments much earlier [1].
