10-Minute finger prick could speed up heart attack diagnosis

NCT ID NCT06499519

Summary

This study tested a new, faster blood test designed to help doctors diagnose heart attacks. Over 1,500 people who came to the emergency room with chest pain participated. Researchers compared the new test, which gives results in about 10 minutes from a finger prick, to standard lab tests to see if it was just as accurate.
