0Heart Disease Detected Early with Breath Testing
Research published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology has found that breath testing can reveal potential heart disease and artery problems quickly and
efficiently. Testing 31 patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) together with 34 healthy control subjects, the study found that concentrations of volatile gases such as propanol, ethanol and ammonia were significantly different among the heart disease patients.
It also found that the breath can reveal specific details about the heart’s condition. The breath test can be analyzed in fewer than 30 minutes.
