Heart Health

How it works

  1. 1

    Enter your numbers

    Age, blood pressure, and a cholesterol test are enough to start.

  2. 2

    We check them against the guidelines

    The ones cardiologists use, from the American Heart Association and American College of Cardiology, and the trials behind them.

  3. 3

    You get questions for your doctor

    Each one links to its source and says how strong the evidence is.

How strong is the evidence?

Every recommendation carries one of these labels. Where it matters, it also says exactly what was shown, like “Shown: lowers LDL by 57%. Not yet shown: fewer heart attacks.”

Proven in trials
Trials counted real events, like heart attacks, strokes, or deaths, and this changed them.
Expert guidelines
Official guidelines recommend it, based on trials plus expert judgment.
Improves test numbers
Trials show it improves a number, like cholesterol or blood pressure. They haven't yet shown fewer heart attacks or deaths.
Makes biological sense
Fits how the body works, but hasn't been tested directly for this.
Our reading
Our reading of related evidence. No guideline says this directly, so treat it as a question for your doctor.

What this is, and isn't

It's educational software. It shows the published guidance for people with your numbers, with the source for each point.

It doesn't diagnose, read scans, or prescribe. When advice would depend on something it doesn't know, like your other medicines, it becomes a question for your doctor.
