More than 8 million patients with chest pain suggestive of myocardial ischemia visit Emergency Departments (EDs) annually. After initial clinical and ECG evaluation, approximately 75 of chest pain patients lack objective evidence of unstable coronary syndrome. The lack of objective evidence has generated significant challenges in the acute-care setting. Accelerated diagnostic protocols using biochemical markers and near-patient testing strategies help reduce hospital stays and resultant costs in the management of both ACS-positive and ACS-negative patients.
