203. Preventing the Preventable: Rhonda Rhyne on Using AI to Predict and Prevent Cardiovascular Disease

Executive Health and Life

Every 40 seconds someone has a heart attack. Approximately 80% of premature heart disease and stroke can be prevented.

There are numerous blood tests for heart health that someone can use. However, is it precise enough? In today’s episode, I’m talking with Rhonda Rhyne, CEO and president of Prevencio.

They’re on a mission to revolutionize blood tests for cardiovascular disease through leveraging Artificial intelligence. She’s also the author of Keys to the Corner Office: Success Strategies for Women by Women.

Heart disease is more deadly than all cancers combined. It’s expected to worsen over the coming decades.

Two groundbreaking tests HART CADhs (“The Here and Now”) and HART CVE (“The future”) offer some much-needed hope in this arena.

These blood tests have an almost 90% accuracy for whether you have heart disease and are at immediate risk of a heart attack through the HART CADhs. The HART CVE determines whether you have a one-year risk of a heart attack, stroke, or cardiac event.

We leave no stone unturned in exploring the connection between the heart and other organs, such as the kidneys, and the impact it can have on your health. And much more.

These tests can be an excellent tool to use as a baseline to track and monitor your heart health over the coming decades.

— Impactful Words From Rhonda Rhyne —

"We need a better solution and, Prevencio, maybe you can say we're biased, but we've got higher accuracy, no side effects, more accessibility, and lower cost compared to these other modalities."

"The inclusion of KIM 1 highlights the connection between heart health and kidney function, particularly in the African-American population."

"I really do believe if you're raised with different types of adversity, you hopefully learn to overcome them and become that stronger."

"Genes tell RNA which proteins to produce. Proteins are very close to the disease state and are reflective and dynamic."
