Clinical Chemistry

Test Panel Improves Prediction of Heart Disease Risk

Researchers have found that combined results from 5 simple tests – an EKG, a limited CT scan, and three blood tests – better predicted who would develop heart disease compared with standard strategies that focus on blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, and smoking history. More...
