Abstract

cardiac troponin Point-of-care assays hs-cTn turnaround times myocardial infarction
The emergency department (ED) use of safe and time-efficient 0-1-hour assessment algorithms for suspected myocardial infarction (MI) is recommended. However, laboratory-based high-sensitivity cardiac troponin (hs-cTn) results are often not available within 1 hour from blood draw. Point-of-care (POC) hs-cTn assays, with shorter turnaround times (TATs), would solve this problem.
