Research summary
People who have chest pain, shortness of breath, or an irregular heartbeat may have heart problems. There are cardiac biomarkers in the blood that show if the heart muscle is damaged. Being able to easily check for these biomarkers could help doctors to identify what is wrong and provide the right type of care as soon as possible. A new test for heart problems is being developed by Osler on their Osler Origin product, which enables the testing to take place closer to the patient’s location in the hospital and provides lab-quality results quicker, which then helps doctors to treat patients faster.
This study aims to collect blood from up to 500 patients with potential heart problems who need a cardiac biomarker test as part of their care. The samples will be used to check if a new cardiac biomarker test developed by Osler works for measuring these biomarker levels in blood and plasma. Any leftover plasma may be frozen and used for future research to make new or improved tests.REC name
