Cardiac Score — Your Heart Health Rating
HeartLab's proprietary Cardiac Score gives you a comprehensive heart health rating based on multiple ECG and HRV parameters.
What Is the Cardiac Score?
The Cardiac Score is HeartLab's proprietary algorithm that combines multiple heart health indicators into a single, easy-to-understand score. Rather than trying to interpret individual metrics like heart rate, HRV values, arrhythmia counts, and ECG morphology separately, the Cardiac Score synthesizes these parameters into a comprehensive assessment. This gives you an at-a-glance view of your overall cardiac health status and makes it easy to track changes over time.
What the Cardiac Score Considers
HeartLab's Cardiac Score algorithm evaluates heart rate variability metrics (SDNN, rMSSD, pNN50), resting heart rate stability, presence and frequency of arrhythmias (PVCs, PACs, bigeminy), ECG waveform quality, and trend data over time. The score factors in your age and baseline measurements to provide personalized results. A higher score indicates better overall cardiac health indicators, while a declining score may prompt you to consult your healthcare provider.
Track Your Heart Health Over Time
The real power of the Cardiac Score is in longitudinal tracking. By monitoring your score over weeks and months, you can see how lifestyle changes, medications, exercise, and stress management affect your heart health. HeartLab displays your Cardiac Score trends in clear, visual charts and can generate PDF reports showing score progression for your doctor.
