Summary

This presentation will address the updates for Myocardial Infarction Guidelines which are important for clinicians and laboratorians as they provide valuable information on the new recommendations for serial Troponins as well as assay specifications. Information regarding Acute Coronary Syndromes (ACS) will provide a summary of statistics along with definitions of indicators under ACS. The methods for treating Myocardial Infarction (MI), also known as Acute MI or heart attack, including the acute phase in the ED as well as the diagnostic expectations for patients in observation status requiring accelerated serial marker protocols will also be discussed.

The presentation will include a brief overview of the high-sensitive Troponin and discussion on Troponin Turn-Around-Time (TAT), testing methodologies and a review of quality practices to optimize patient care.
