What role does Cardio Risk Check | Herz-Kreislauf Risiko-Test play in fertility?

The Cardio Risk Check (Herz-Kreislauf Risiko-Test) by MyBody-X assesses classic cardiovascular risk factors such as blood lipids, inflammatory markers (e.g., hsCRP), and genetic predispositions (e.g., PCSK9, IL6). There is no direct causal link between this test and fertility. However, cardiovascular risk factors can indirectly affect fertility: endothelial dysfunction, chronic inflammation, and metabolic syndrome are associated with ovarian reserve, sperm quality, and implantation failure. For example, elevated hsCRP is linked to PCOS and endometriosis, and FADS2 variants (omega-3 metabolism) may modulate oocyte quality. Thus, the test does not provide a direct fertility diagnosis but may highlight modifiable risk factors. The evidence is predominantly observational (human-moderate). Solely interpreting this test for fertility is not recommended; clinical parameters (AMH, semen analysis, cycle) are essential. Safety note: Do not self-treat based on genetic risk markers; consult a reproductive specialist.
