Cardiometabolic diseases
Cardiometabolic diseases are one of the greatest challenges we face. Our focus
lies in countering the threat through innovative diagnostic and preventive solutions.
Cardiometabolic disease is the number one cause of mortality,

accounting for 31% of all global deaths—75% of which occur in
low- and middle-income countries.Focus
Cardiometabolic disease is not a single ailment, but rather a
spectrum of conditions. ' Early intervention is crucial to prevent
complications. Most cardiovascular diseases can be prevented by
addressing certain risk factors, such as tobacco use, unhealthy diet
and obesity, physical inactivity, and harmful use of alcohol.
However, the reality of many situations is that early warning signs
are ignored and diagnostic solutions are required to inform
appropriate intervention.
We are focused on bringing better diagnostics solutions to support
early intervention and improve outcomes.
Today, advanced technologies and our evolved understanding of
disease present new opportunities to personalise treatment,
reduce unnecessary costs, and protect people in their time of
need. The use of tests to assess risk, screen, diagnose, predict,
and monitor cardiac disease have been essential tools in protecting
patients, helping to reduce anxiety, avoid overcrowding of the
emergency department, and help save lives.
