Troponin I result at the same time you receive your "12-lead," from one drop of blood.  Emergency Department & Chest Pain Centers

AHA / ACC 2002 Guidelines for the management of NSTEMI & UA recommend a 30 minute turn-a-round (TAT) for cardiac marker results. “Point-of-Care systems, if implemented at the bedside, have the advantage of reducing delays due to transportation and processing in a central lab.”

The i-STAT Cardiac Troponin I (cTnI) cartridge delivers a quantitative, lab-accurate result in only 10-minutes. The i-STAT cTnI test is cleared for risk stratification and can be used as a single test to diagnose NSTEMI with serial measurements.

Faster results mean faster treatment for the AMI patient, faster discharge for the non-AMI patient, and less diverts for the overcrowded ED.
