blood test for relatives
I was told that there is a special blood test available that family members should get to determine if they are candidates for heart attacks. The information that I was provided said that if heart problems are in your family, that there was a specific blood test that could tell if you were a future heart attack problem. Do you know what the test i called.
Thank-you. Would there be any reason then for an individual to get the "hemochromatosis" blood test?

Many tests have been touted to predict if someone will have a heart attack but none are totally accurate. There is no single test however.
