Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are chronic diseases that cause a serious social problem, and this situation has been improved through risk assessment of CVD. Metabolic factors are the predominant risk factors for CVD.

The efficient detection of multiple metabolites will facilitate the risk assessment of CVD. Glucose (Glu), lactate (Lac), and cholesterol (Chol) are three typical metabolites that are closely related to the risk assessment of chronic CVD, reflecting the metabolic level in the body and vascular risks.

In clinical practice, different instruments and blood collection tubes are required for different metabolite detections, which are time-consuming and require professional operators. This takes up a lot of medical resources and causes a huge medical burden. The development of a sensor that detects...
