Researchers
in India have proposed a method for keeping track of the cholesterol levels in
heart patients. It is a unique method of
performing cholesterol test with the help of a digital camera.
Digital
camera then performs the total cholesterol test by taking snapshots of the back
of the patient’s hands. In this test, blood samples are not used. The snapshots
of the new patients are cropped and compared with the existing images within
the database of cholesterol levels.
The
total cholesterol test is a decent way to keep the initial check of different cholesterol
problems. Although a detailed analysis would be required in order to
differentiate between the types of cholesterol: HDL and LDL. Analysis of the
triglycerides is the more accurate health assessment for patients with high
total cholesterol levels. The cholesterol levels are revealed with the help of
skin image analysis.
Bentham
Science Publishers’ journal “Recent
Patents on Cardiovascular Drug Discovery” publishes diverse articles on clinical
drug trial studies and guest edited thematic issues on recent patents in the
field of cardiovascular drug discovery. This Bentham Journal is a useful guide
for all researchers involved in the cardiovascular drug design and discovery. For
