Time: The most precious resource: Part two of the High-sensitivity troponin webinar series

This webinar will review the utilization of troponin assays in the assessment of acute coronary syndrome (ACS). This will highlight the differences between contemporary troponin vs. high-sensitive troponin and the role each play in the assessment of patients presenting with ischemic equivalent symptoms in the emergency department (ED). Specifically, four key areas will be explained around the use of troponin in the ED setting that will help to clarify its use when understood properly. In addition, a discussion around the importance of time in delivering diagnosis and care in the ED, and the impact of point of care will be explained.

Key learning objectives:

• The attendee will learn the advantages in the use of high-sensitive troponin over contemporary
• After participating in this program, attendees will be able to describe how the use of high-sensitive troponin may impact the management of patients presenting in the ED as it relates to diagnosis, operational efficiency and cost
• Attendees will become familiar with the impact of delayed care in the ED setting and the value of point of care may have in improving clinical outcomes and operational efficiencies

Who should attend?

• Those interested in the assessment and management of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in Emergency Departments
• Those interested in reviewing data on the evolution of cardiac troponin performance and clinical utility
• Emergency Department, laboratory and/or administrators interested in potential improvements in emergency care and rapid disposition of patients with suspected ACS
