Stratus® CS Acute Care™ Diagnostic System - Features & Benefits
Managing Chest Pain to Meet the Challenge
Over 8 million patients a year visit Emergency Departments with chest pain suggestive of myocardial ischemia. Around 75% of these patients lack objective evidence of unstable coronary syndrome after initial clinical and ECG evaluation, resulting in 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.
