Researchers Develop Internet Crystal Ball To Predict Heart Disease And Diabetes Risk
Scientific researchers have developed internet crystal ball to predict early symptoms of heart attack and also prevent the risk of diabetes. Internet crystal ball is a metabolic calculator that will predict the patient’s risk of developing heart attacks and diabetes. This process is far more accurate than that of the traditional methods.
This tool will indirectly prompt the patients to make certain changes in lifestyle that would spare them from suffering from the attack.
“This tells a patient, ‘On the risk spectrum you are here, and you are in a position where we are worried you are going to have a cardiovascular attack in the next 10 years’” says Mark DeBoer (who developed the metabolic crystal ball) from the University of Virginia in the US.
He also added saying that this hypothesis will give specific information about the risk so that the patients can understand and eventually be motivated to make some changes in their lifestyle.
These five factors are studied to predict the risk for cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes: Obesity, high blood pressure, high fasting blood sugar, low HDL (good) cholesterol and also high fasting triglycerides. Patients with abnormalities in any of these 3 are diagnosed and suggest that they have an elevated risk for future health problems.
This metabolic crystal ball was studied on more than 13,000 people and found that the tool was a better risk predictor. This could also be incorporated in the electronic medical record to calculate the risk and the same can be provided to the physician. The final outcome is to make the patient understand the risk and start taking some preventive steps.
