Simple Thumb Test Could Reveal Hidden Heart Risk
A simple thumb test could reveal a hidden heart problem, according to a Yale study. Dr. Joe, an ER physician, explains the "thumb-palm test" which showed a positive result in nearly 60% of patients with ascending aortic aneurysms. While a positive result doesn't guarantee an aneurysm, Dr. Joe urges those with a family history of heart or connective tissue disorders to consult their doctor. "If your thumb crosses your palm easily, it's worth mentioning to your doctor," he advises. The test's simplicity and the study's findings make it a valuable tool for early detection and preventative care.
