Every year, 48,000 working years are lost due to acute myocardial infarction. The risk continues to rise due to demographic trends and increasing everyday stress - but it often goes unrecognized due to the lack of or unspecific symptoms.
For some patients, the first sign is sudden death. The German Society of Cardiology (DGK) therefore calls for annual screening for all people over the age of 50.
Women and people with diabetes often lack the classic symptoms.
The increase in CHD-related hospital admissions among men aged 45 to 50 is a particularly worrying development.

With an Area Under The Curve (AUC) of 0.87, the Cardio Explorer has an accuracy comparable to the best imaging techniques.
Cardio Explorer calculates the pre-test probability required by medical guidelines (ESC 2019) with higher precision than existing methods.
Cardio Explorer enables precise risk stratification of patients with suspected CHD. This conserves scarce specialist resources and treats patients efficiently.
The Cardio Explorer is approved in Switzerland and all EU countries.
The Cardio Explorer has been validated in three clinical studies with over 4,500 patients, in high and low prevalence populations and showed an enormously high accuracy (AUC of 0.87) in all studies. The broad validation is a prerequisite for use in primary diagnostics and prevention.
CHD reflects a system-wide and highly complex pathophysiology that requires a comprehensive combinatorial assessment of all risk factors. Artificial intelligence (AI) allows efficient and personalized assessment.
Reliable and simple risk assessment
Thanks to its simple procedure, the 15-minute Cardio Explorer® check-up can be carried out anywhere and shows whether preventive measures or further examinations are advisable.
