Your Fingers Indicate Heart Attack Risk Years Before The EventOne of the problems with heart health is that once the problem appears, it takes a great deal of effort to reverse it. Sometimes undergoing surgery or taking dangerous drugs for a sustained period are the only options.

But how about if you could detect heart attack risk 10 – 20 years before any obvious symptoms appear? This would give you plenty of time to make minor, positive changes to prevent the big bang.

A new, completely non-invasive test does just that. You don’t even have to have your blood or urine taken – all you have to do is look at your fingers.

According to Dr. Chris Renna, a physician at Lifespan Medicine,the EndoPat test predicts the risk of having a heart attack and determines the health of blood vessels, which play a big role in healthy cardio functioning.

People use this test as an indicator of their cardio health levels, and whether they are doing enough to remain healthy in their later years.

Those undergoing the EndoPat test are hooked up to sensors that are placed on each of their fingers. After the sensors are in place, blood pressure cuffs are used to stop the blood flow in one hand.

When the cuff is deflated, the manner in which the blood flow recovers is measured by the sensors.

In healthy patients, the blood flow is prevented by the inflation of the cuff, but when it is deflated, the blood flow spikes, before returning to normal. Those that display signs of abnormal heart functioning will only recover to the point that the blood flow was at before the cuff was inflated and when it was stopped – there is no spike.

If a patient’s test is abnormal, it’s likely they will end up experiencing problems with their heart later. The good news is this test allows the chance to take preventative action.
