Blood proteins that may predict brain and cardiovascular health issues identified
The Brief
- Researchers from the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine at the National University of Singapore (NUS Medicine) identified four proteins in the blood.
- The proteins could potentially help identify people at higher risk of worsening cerebrovascular disease and cognitive decline, and of serious heart-related conditions.
- The available source text is truncated, so study size, methods and validation details are not confirmed here.
Why it matters
If validated, a simple blood test based on these proteins could flag people at higher risk of brain and heart problems earlier.
Who’s affected
- clinicians and researchers in cerebrovascular, cognitive and cardiovascular health
- people concerned about their risk of cognitive decline or heart disease
