Researchers at the University of Hong Kong have built an AI tool called CardiOmicScore that scans thousands of proteins and metabolites in a single blood draw to predict a person’s risk of six major cardiovascular diseases, including heart attack, stroke, heart failure, and atrial fibrillation, well before symptoms show up. What sets it apart from genetic risk scores, which stay fixed for life, is that it reflects a person’s actual current health, lifestyle, and environment, meaning the score can shift as habits change. That makes it a potentially powerful early-warning system, giving people and doctors a real window to intervene long before disease actually takes hold. It’s an exciting step toward more personalized, proactive heart care.
