What It Measures
Risk you can act on — before symptoms appear.
The PULS (Protein Unstable Lesion Signature) Test measures proteins released as the body responds to unstable arterial plaque — the kind that drives most heart attacks. It translates them into a personalized risk score.
Because it detects the biological activity behind cardiac events rather than waiting for a blockage, it can flag risk that standard cholesterol panels miss. Dr. Volpp uses it to decide who benefits from cardiovascular-focused EBOO protocols — and to track change over time.
