How can knowing my Integrated Risk Score for CAD help?
Your Integrated Risk Score (iPRS) can give you a more complete picture of your risk for developing CAD.
Your Integrated Risk Score (iPRS) can give you a more complete picture of your risk for developing CAD. Instead of only looking at your health factors, like most risk assessments do, this score combines information from your genetics with other health factors to help your doctor better understand your overall risk. With this information, your doctor may recommend more personalized care, like starting medications to lower your risk of heart disease or making other changes to protect your heart health. Knowing your risk can also help you focus on healthy lifestyle changes, like improving your diet, exercising regularly, or quitting smoking, that may lower your risk of developing coronary artery disease (CAD).
