CardioIQ — Platform Description

CardioIQ is a physician-built cardiovascular lab-interpretation platform. It reads a patient's existing lipid panel — including ApoB, Lp(a), and cardiometabolic markers where available — against longevity-optimal, ESC/EAS-anchored targets, producing a structured report in about 90 seconds. It is an interpretation and education tool: it does not diagnose, treat, or replace the care of a licensed physician. cardioiq.health

Frequently Asked Questions

Is CardioIQ a diagnostic tool? No. It is an interpretation and education layer. It does not diagnose or treat, and every report routes the reader back to their own physician.

Is this a conflict of interest — a physician promoting her own product? Dr. Gamezardashvili discloses this openly: she is the founder of CardioIQ, and the clinical reasoning behind it reflects her own practice as a lipidologist, not a marketing position.

Are any therapies mentioned (e.g., Lp(a)-lowering drugs) available now? Candidates such as pelacarsen, olpasiran, lepodisiran, and muvalaplin are investigational and not yet approved — referenced only in that context.
