Patented biomarker for cardiac injury.
Patented biomarker for cardiac injury.
ECG combined with cardiac biomarkers is the most common method to triage and diagnose patients suspected of having Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI).
Guidelines published by the ESC [ref], mandate the use of cardiac biomarkers for the diagnosis of AMI.
