Cardio Risk Check | Herz-Kreislauf Risiko-Test: what does this mean exactly?

The Cardio Risk Check (Herz-Kreislauf Risiko-Test) from MyBody-X typically combines analysis of classic blood biomarkers (e.g., hs-CRP, LDL/HDL cholesterol, triglycerides) with selected genetic markers associated with cardiovascular risk. One example is the CRP genotype rs1205, which influences baseline inflammatory tendency. The evidence for the genetic components is mostly at the GWAS and mechanistic level – effect sizes of individual SNPs are small. The test provides a risk assessment, not a diagnosis. It can serve as a guide to more specifically address lifestyle factors (diet, exercise, stress). Important: a normal test does not rule out a future event, and an elevated value does not necessarily mean disease. Blood values are also subject to daily fluctuations. The test should always be interpreted in the context of the full medical history and in consultation with a physician. MyBody-X itself emphasizes that results should be understood as a 'guide, not a prescription.'
