Evidence check: Cardio Risk Check in the context of Fruchtbarkeit

A 'Cardio Risk Check' in the context of fertility lacks robust scientific support. While cardiovascular risk factors such as hypertension, dyslipidemia, and insulin resistance can indirectly impair fertility—through endothelial dysfunction, hormonal imbalances, or reduced blood flow to reproductive organs—no validated test specifically measures 'cardio risk for fertility.' MyBody-X's offerings typically assess single biomarkers (e.g., cholesterol, CRP) without accounting for cycle phase, age, or lifestyle confounders. The evidence is marketing-driven and unclear. Clinically relevant risk factors should be evaluated via standard medical workup (blood pressure, fasting lipid panel, HbA1c). Caution: a negative cardio check may provide false reassurance; a positive result does not replace a physician's diagnosis. For fertility concerns, specific hormonal and functional markers (e.g., AMH, FSH, prolactin) and a comprehensive history are essential.
