Probably not a fit

Patients under 18 years old will not benefit from this study.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study aims to explore how genetic risk factors influence health decisions and lifestyle choices related to heart diseases, particularly coronary artery disease (CAD). Participants will receive a genetic risk score based on their 23andMe data, which ranks their genetic risk compared to global populations. By understanding their genetic predisposition, individuals may be better equipped to make informed health decisions. The study focuses on the interplay between genetic risk and controllable health behaviors.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this could empower patients to make informed lifestyle choices to mitigate their genetic risk for heart diseases.

How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown success in using genetic risk scores to inform health decisions, making this approach promising but not entirely novel.
