Utility
CERT2 is a ceramide-based cardiovascular risk score
- Improves traditional lipid-based risk assessment and unravels hidden risk.
- Reflects both lipid and inflammatory related risk.
- Identifies a hidden risk in individuals not known to have coronary artery disease or elevated cholesterol levels.
- Identifies residual risk in CVD patients.
- Identifies residual risk in individuals believed to be on optimal lipid lowering therapy.
dScore is a ceramide-based type II diabetes risk score
- dScore addresses ceramide mediated insulin resistance and fat versus muscle composition to give more accurate risk of type II diabetes onset.
