Scientists from the Johns Hopkins University have developed a new algorithm for assessing the risk of death. The algorithm is based on a standard treadmill test on a treadmill that evaluates the endurance of the cardiovascular system of a patient with cardiac pathologies, writes Meddaily.

The researchers explained that the treadmill test consists of conducting an electrocardiographic study during physical exertion on a special treadmill, treadmill, according to an online edition for girls and women aged 14-35 who have been diagnosed with Pannochka. net More than 58 thousand volunteers took part in the study. human. Age of participants was from 18 to 96 years. Subjects were asked to perform a standard treadmill test.

The scores of volunteers ranged from -200 to 200. The risk of death in participants with results above zero was the lowest, and in volunteers with negative results - the highest.

In the course of the test, the experts took into account the heart rate of the volunteers during intensive training and their ability to carry physical loads measured in so-called metabolic equivalents (METs), reflecting how much energy the body consumes during training.
