CASCADE-MI Study

Do you have a parent or sibling who has had a heart attack before age 55?

Are you aged between 30 and 55?

You may be eligible to take part in a new heart health study.

Know your risk, protect your future.

CASCADE-MI is a trailblazing study that aims to improve heart health in families affected by heart attacks at a young age.

When someone experiences a heart attack before the age of 55, their close relatives may also be at higher risk—often without knowing it.

About the study

This study will offer heart health checks for family members, which may include a cutting-edge CT scan of the heart scan.

By detecting hidden signs of heart disease earlier, the CASCADE-MI study hopes to improve prevention, provide peace of mind and help save lives.
