COMPLEX

Evaluation Poses Diagnostic Challenges

Inclusive of many different complaints that may not be caused by acute myocardial infarction (AMI)

CRITICAL

Rapid Diagnosis of MI is Imperative

Time is muscle; delays can lead to loss of vital heart muscle and function.

the path to success starts with i-STAT in your ed

i-STAT cTnI IN THE ED

Integrate i-STAT early in the patient-care pathway.

  • Lab quality Troponin results at the patient's bedside2
  • Accelerate care decisions for time-sensitive patients

Hs-cTn IN THE HOSPITAL

Utilize hs-assays for admitted patients and long-term care.

  • Admitted hospital patients: re-baseline in hs, expediency is not critical
  • Outpatient cardiology centers: stress in 72 hours, long-term management
