The WARM Hearts study is designed to develop better heart disease screening tools specifically for women aged 55 and older. Researchers will use special non-invasive tests to measure how well your heart and blood vessels are working, combined with assessments of physical strength and fitness. This approach aims to catch heart disease risk earlier than the standard screening methods doctors currently use.
Women are often missed by current heart disease screening tools because those tools were developed mainly based on men's health patterns. This study exists to create better screening methods that work specifically for women, so doctors can identify and help women at risk for heart disease before serious problems develop.
As a participant, you would attend visits where researchers perform non-invasive tests to measure how your heart and blood vessels are functioning, and complete assessments of your physical strength and health history. These tests may include ultrasound or similar imaging, blood pressure measurements, and questions about your health and fitness level. The exact number and timing of visits will be explained when you enroll.
