Researchers are testing a new tool called P-CARDIAC that calculates your personal risk of having another heart event (like a heart attack or stroke) if you've already had heart disease. The study will look at your medical records, symptoms, and medicines to see whether the P-CARDIAC risk score correctly identifies which patients need closer monitoring and more aggressive treatment.
Current ways of predicting who will have another heart attack or stroke aren't always accurate for every patient. This study aims to see if the P-CARDIAC risk score is a better way to personalize heart disease care and help doctors decide which patients need more frequent check-ups or additional medications.

If you qualify, you'll be asked to share your medical records, describe your heart symptoms, and allow researchers to review your medicines and follow-up appointments. There are no new medications or procedures—researchers will simply study your existing medical information from your hospital visits to test how well the P-CARDIAC scoring system works. Part of the study also involves cardiologists reviewing patient cases to compare their risk assessments with the new scoring tool.
