NEW ORLEANS, LA—A transdermal sensor worn on the wrist for less than 15 minutes may be useful in detecting elevated levels of troponin I without requiring a blood draw in patients with ACS, novel ...

The use of a transdermal sensor for the measurement of cardiac troponin may have a role in the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (MI), a new study suggests. The device, a wrist-worn sensor that ...

An experimental wrist-worn device was found to predict troponin-I and obstructed arteries with 90% accuracy in five minutes, according to research being presented at the American College of Cardiology ...
