Rapid MB CK subform assay and the early diagnosis of myocardial infarction

Abstract:
Seventy percent of patients admitted to coronary care units are ruled out for acute myocardial infarction. It has been estimated that 2-3 billion dollars each year could be saved if these non-AMI patients could be identified early, allowing the patient to be admitted to a less intensive setting. This study evaluated a new bedside device, the Cardiac STATus CK-MB/Myoglobin device for its utility in rapidly ruling out AMI. The device demonstrated a 99% negative predictive value within three hours of patient presentation.

The essential diagnostic tools for detecting myocardial necrosis and monitoring individuals suspected of having acute coronary syndrome (ACS) include:
Troponins
Troponins, particularly cardiac troponins I and T, are the most precise and sensitive markers of myocardial injury. They are detectable within 4-6 hours of myocardial injury and remain...
