Who is Boston Heart Diagnostics?
Boston Heart Diagnostics, or Boston Heart, is a company helping to engage
individuals in their own well-being while giving them tools they need to prevent or
reduce their risk of cardiovascular disease. Boston Heart integrates results from our
exclusive tests as well as other CVD focused tests with patient history to create
highly personalized laboratory reports that provide healthcare providers with a
comprehensive picture of a patient’s heart health
What is the Boston Heart Lifestyle Program?
The Boston Heart Lifestyle Program combines your personal laboratory test results
and lifestyle preferences to create a personalized plan that empowers you to take
charge of modifying or reversing your risk factors for heart disease. When you
activate your Lifestyle Program registration, we will ask you a few questions about
your health history, as well as foods and activities you enjoy. We will then combine
this information with your lab test results to create your Life Plan, a plan of action
tailored to your unique risk factors and preferences. You will then have the option to
schedule sessions with a Boston Heart Coach of your choice. Our coaches are
registered dietitians who will help you understand your Life Plan and build health
goals. Through mybostonheart.com, you will have access to valuable tools and
information, like a food and exercise journal, tips for healthy snacking, being active,
managing stress and much more.
Dried Blood Spot Testing
Boston Heart Diagnostics offers dried blood spot testing for Cardiovascular
Disease (CVD) risk factors and much more. This uses blood from a finger
tip and is a convenient and accurate alternative to venous blood draws.

There are many advantages to using dried blood spot technology including:
• Great solution when phlebotomy is not an option.
• No centrifugation required.
• Stable at room temperature and can be shipped without ice.
• Office or home collection.
• Excellent for telemedicine patients.
• Same turnaround time as venous blood.
ABOUT DRIED BLOOD TESTING
• Collection kits include AdvanceDX 100 Card, lancets and other supplies to perform the fingerstick testing.
• Can be performed in the office, or at home by mailing the kit directly to the patient.
• A simple finger stick is used to provide a few drops of blood onto a card.
• The card separates serum from whole blood.
• After drying, the card is mailed to Boston Heart.
• The lab takes punches of either the whole blood or serum for testing on standard laboratory equipment.
• Correlation with venous blood ranged from 91 to 100% during internal validation testing.
• The testing is highly reliable with CVs of <5%.
