The VIDAS® Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) panel offers three complementary tests for the assessment of myocardial injury1, 2. Performed on the instruments of the VIDAS® family, these assays are particularly suitable for emergency testing.

Complementary markers for the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI)

Cardiac Troponin I (cTnI) is an appreciated biomarker of cardiac necrosis due to its specificity for myocardial tissue damage2. An increase of cTnl levels (within 3 to 6 hours after the onset of chest pain) and the fact they remain elevated for 4 to 7 days3 give cTnI a good diagnostic value for myocardial infarction.

The protein concentration of the MB isoenzyme of human creatine kinase (CK-MB) also increases rapidly after infarction. Due to its shorter half-life, it can be used as a marker for re-infarction.

Myoglobin is one of the first markers of myocardial damage to be measured after the onset of myocardial infarction.

VIDAS® solution benefits

  • Reliable and easy-to-use instruments with random access and small foot-print. Well adapted to rapid response laboratories.
  • Factory-calibrated, single-dose tests which reduce the need for additional
    controls**.
  • Short time to result: VIDAS® Troponin I Ultra result available in only 20 minutes; comparable assay times for VIDAS CK-MB and Myoglobin.
  • Reagents can be used immediately after removal from the refrigerator.
  • VIDAS® NT-proBNP2 available on the same platform.

* Please consult our local subsidiary or representatives for the availability of these products in your country.
