Blood Test Predicts Heart Attack Risk

Blood Test, which measures blood levels of a protein called NT-proBNP, was found to be highly predictive of cardiovascular risks according to a study involving almost 1,000 heart patients thought to have stable coronary heart disease.

Patients with the highest levels of the protein in their blood were eight times as likely as patients with the lowest levels to die or suffer a heart attack, stroke, or heart failure during the study.
