NEW YORK (GaeaTimes.com) — A new kind of blood test can reveal the risk of any kind of heart diseases in a person six years before the actual fatal happens. This new discovery is led by a group of researchers in the University of Texas and it will be prove highly potential to reduce the number of deaths by heart attack.

According to the latest study low levels of the protein ‘cardiac troponin T‘ — are present in blood of patients with severe heart disease. Earlier it was though that he protein was only detectable in those who already suffered a heart attack. But the new study gives a hard blow to this concept after they experimentally proved that a blood test for traces of the protein can spot patients with dangerous heart problems up to six years earlier.

This new discovery may help patients likely to have chronic diseases like chronic diseases such as coronary artery disease (CAD), heart failure, and chronic kidney disease. This blood test can serve as the most powerful predictors of death in the general population so far.
