10-Minute Finger-Prick test could speed up heart attack diagnosis
NCT ID NCT05665127
First seen May 13, 2026 · Last updated May 13, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new device that measures troponin from a finger-prick blood sample in about 10 minutes, instead of the usual 2-hour lab test. Researchers want to see if this faster test can help diagnose heart attacks earlier and reassure patients who are not having one. About 1,000 adults with chest pain symptoms will take part. The goal is to reduce time to diagnosis and time spent in the hospital.
