Researchers at the UK-based Heart Research Institute have worked for a long time to create a device that can determine the risk of heart attack long before the onset of symptoms..

A special device, called Globorisk, is able to calculate the degree of risk of developing cardiovascular diseases ten years before their onset.. It can predict the likelihood of strokes, heart attacks and other heart diseases.

This device takes measurements of cholesterol levels from a test person, measures blood pressure, and then, taking into account gender, age, bad habits, country of residence and other factors, calculates the risk of cardiovascular diseases in the subject.

British scientists have already tested Globorisk on volunteers over the age of 40 from 11 countries.. It found that the risk of heart disease is greater in people living in countries with low living standards, such as China and Mexico.. More than a third of the population of these countries is at risk of developing heart disease..

And in more civilized states, such as Spain and Denmark, cardiovascular diseases occur only in 5-10% of the population..
