Do you know your heart health?

MyoStrain® is a first-of-its-kind, 10-minute direct heart assessment that may help doctors detect heart dysfunction early and manage preventative treatment to help protect your heart.

Why You Need To Know Your Heart Health

Heart disease is a silent and progressive disease that may lead to heart failure.¹ Those who have it often do not realize it for months or even years, and yet, heart disease affects more than half of U.S. adults.² This is because heart dysfunction, an early sign of declining heart health, often goes undetected until symptoms and/or hospitalization occurs.³

Common causes of heart dysfunction include:

  • Lifestyle and family genetics
  • Hypertension, diabetes and obesity
  • Coronary artery disease
  • Cardiotoxic effects from cancer and HIV treatment
  • Previous COVID-19 diagnosis
  • Sleep apnea
The key to preventing adverse cardiac events is to detect the early signs of heart dysfunction.⁴ While traditional heart assessments may not be sensitive enough to detect heart dysfunction early, MyoStrain may provide a new proactive approach to help physicians treat and manage the heart before symptoms occur.⁵
