Myocardial Infarction Genetic Risk Score

The Myocardial Infarction Genetic Risk Score (MI-GRS) is a tool that assesses your genetic predisposition to having a heart attack. It analyzes specific variations in your DNA that are linked to increased risk of heart disease. By combining these genetic markers, the score provides a personalized estimate of your likelihood of experiencing a heart attack, helping healthcare providers identify those who might benefit from earlier or more targeted prevention strategies. It's an additional way to understand your heart health risk beyond traditional factors like cholesterol or blood pressure.
