Estimating the clinical impact of bringing a multimarker cardiac panel to the bedside in the ED

A patient with an elevated POC assay result would still receive serial troponin T testing to confirm the diagnosis of non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction, so their potential benefit from this protocol would not be time savings in terms of cardiac intervention but rather a less congested cardiac u...

Summary:A patient with an elevated POC assay result would still receive serial troponin T testing to confirm the diagnosis of non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction, so their potential benefit from this protocol would not be time savings in terms of cardiac intervention but rather a less congested cardiac unit. 5.
