New paper alert 🚨
SCORE2-HF predicts heart failure risk over 10 & 30 years using routine GP data (e.g. BP, BMI, diabetes).
Validated in 1.3M+ people across Europe, it helps identify high-risk adults early for prevention.

The image is divided into three vertical sections. On the left, gray smog surrounds factories and a city skyline while a person coughs, with icons of lungs and a child’s face suggesting respiratory harm. In the center, a human body silhouette shows internal organs (lungs, heart, liver, intestines) with icons of a thermometer and heart rate, indicating heat and health impacts. On the right, a sunny, green landscape shows a woman riding a bicycle near trees, wind turbines, and solar panels, with icons of a water droplet and sun, representing clean energy and climate solutions.
