CardioFlux Score Explainer
Breaking down the CardioFlux Score
Our completely silent, 90-second scan reveals a lot more about your heart than you might think
A unique measure of your myocardial fitness
The CardioFlux Score is based on 14 unique biomarkers that quantify the health of your heart muscle's electrical activity. These 14 metrics are combined into an overall CardioFlux Score, which compares your heart function to a benchmark of other symptom-free, healthy people your age. Improvements to your CardioFlux Score across time represent improvements in your underlying myocardial fitness, often potentially signaling a reduction in your long-term risk of heart disease.
How The Score Gets Calculated

These markers examine the rate at which your heart completes a full heartbeat and provides a high-level picture of your heart's overall timing and pace. A healthy heartbeat should be carefully timed and executed.
A heartbeat that is far too short or far too long may signal poor cardiac fitness. For example, an excessively short heartbeat may be a sign that your heart is under a high degree of stress or operating far too quickly. Conversely, an excessively long heartbeat may indicate that your heart is struggling to pump blood effectively.
These markers measure how quickly and powerfully the electrical pulse moves through your heart when it contracts (pumps blood out) and relaxes (fills up with more blood). Faster and stronger electrical activity is typically better than the opposite.
Together, these measures reveal how efficiently electrical activity conducts across your heart muscle. Poor myocardial fitness may appear as a speed that is too slow, potentially reflecting poor conditioning of your heart's electrical system, or as a strength that is too weak, potentially indicating impaired heart muscle function.
These markers further examine your heart everytime it relaxes during the second-half of your heartbeat and measure how coordinated and steady this relaxation action appears. This electrical activity, formally known as repolarization, should be smooth and consistent.
Repolarization can become irregular or poorly coordinated due to a variety of things, from natural aging to various forms of cardiac dysfunction. Irregular activity can lead to inefficiencies in pumping blood, increasing stress on the heart and potentially leading to more serious issues in the long-term.
