"Blood test gives three-week warning of a heart attack"
Science and medicine are always finding something new.
It's a good thing...
It's a good thing...
Fiona MacRae recently reported about it on the U.K. Daily Mail website:
"A simple and inexpensive test that can spot a heart attack waiting to happen could be available next year.
Scientists say they are very close to the ‘holy grail of heart medicine’ – a rapid blood test that will pick up if someone is on the cusp of a heart attack.
These patients could then be given drugs to thin their blood and prevent the heart attack."
