Optimizing Chest Pain Care: Implementing Rapid Point-of-Care Cardiovascular Diagnostic Testing into Your Workflow

Presented by Simon A. Mahler, MD, MS, FACEP

This webinar will discuss approaches to improve chest pain risk stratification using point-of-care diagnostics. Specifically, we will discuss high-sensitivity troponin, d-dimer, and natriuretic peptide biomarker testing and the advantages of point-of-care testing. This will include discussion of evidence-based algorithms that can be used to integrate these point-of-care biomarkers into the Emergency Department workflow.
