Key result
The Cardiac Reader point-of-care system showed good agreement with standard laboratory assays for quantitative determination of cardiac troponin T (r = 0.89) and myoglobin (r = 0.98).

Effect estimate: r = 0.89 for Troponin T; r = 0.98 for Myoglobin
The Cardiac Reader point-of-care system provides reliable quantitative results for troponin T and myoglobin, making it suitable for use in emergency rooms and coronary care units.
Müller-Bardorff et al. (2000) conducted an observational in Suspected acute coronary syndromes (n=281). Cardiac Reader point-of-care system (CARDIAC T Quantitative and CARDIAC M tests) vs. Cardiac troponin T ELISA and Tina-quant Myoglobin was evaluated on Method agreement (correlation coefficient) (r = 0.89 for Troponin T; r = 0.98 for Myoglobin). The Cardiac Reader point-of-care system showed good agreement with standard laboratory assays for quantitative determination of cardiac troponin T (r = 0.89) and myoglobin (r = 0.98).
