My thinking

I was very surprised that it is so easy for us to know the risk of heart disease by such test. I had never heard that there is super sensitive tests. They need the protein of just a few picograms? And it shows a sensitive response? That is too great! I think that I want to be given the tests when I read this article.

My opinion

I read this story. this is very interesting and I studied a lot of things about heart failure. If I don't this article, when I have a simple blood test for a blood protein, called cardiac troponin T, I can have a test without knowing that protein test may predict heart disease. Because I don't know wisdom about medicine, I read a lot of articles about medicine.

My opinion

I'm interested in this article, too. These days, many peoples died because of a life-style-related disease. One of them is heart disease. So I think this new style of test predicts future heart disease is very important and valuable. I don't like smoke and drinking, but it isn't enough evidence we wouldn't become life-style-related disease. That's why I want the test to refiner than now in the future.

My opinion

This story is very interesting for me. In the last week, the article I had taken up was about heart disease. I don't know that when the heart cells die, troponin protein is released and it is found out whether we suffer from the heart disease by the test for blood protein, called cardiac troponin T. I hope that this inspection method spreads and people who suffered from heart illnesses decrease even a little.

New Blood Test Predict Heart Failure

I chose this article because I think this article is very interesting. High blood pressure or cholesterol, a history of smoking , just getting older - all of these can make heart disease more likely. If we get a heart disease, we cannot notice that easily. Then, I think a simple blood test for a blood protein ,called cardiac troponin T, is useful. The troponin protein is released when heart cells die. So the protein test may predict heart disease. I was very surprised and impressed to know that by reading this article. I hope this leads to early detection of heart disease. What do you think about this article?
