Nanogen Cardiac STATus®

Cardiac STATus delivers trusted results that translate to better diagnostic decisions at the point of care for myocardial infarcation and cardiovascular disease. Cardiac STATus utilizes Troponin I, the single most critical marker in detecting acute myocardial infarction (AMI). This can help healthcare professionals quickly assess cardiac biomarker status in the ER and speed time-to-treatment for patients experiencing chest pain. This provides a more cost-efficient method of patient care.

The failure to hospitalize patients with acute myocardial infarction or unstable angina who present to the emergency department is a serious public health issue. Studies have found that between 2 percent and 8 percent of patients with acute myocardial infarction who present to the emergency department are sent home.1 Cardiac STATus uses advanced diagnostic technology that allows flexibility and ease of use that is demanded in emergency situations to detect and diagnose disease. In the midst of a typically chaotic environment, Cardiac STATus helps medical professionals establish cardiac markers for patients with chest pain more quickly and accurately.
