World Heart Day | Poclight Protect your cardiovascular health
September 29 , 2024
World Heart Day was created by the World Heart Federation to inform people around the world that cardiovascular disease (CVD), including heart disease and stroke, is the leading cause of death in the world.
This year's theme is " Heart and Action Integration ", which emphasizes the close connection between heart health and our daily behavior and reminds us to maintain and promote heart health through a healthy lifestyle.
For cardiovascular diseases, early detection, early diagnosis, and early prevention are the key! One of the keys to the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases is to accurately diagnose and identify cardiovascular emergencies and evaluate the severity and severity of the disease.
Cardiovascular disease - serum markers
In 2024, the "Expert Consensus on the Clinical Application of Point-of-Care Testing (POCT) in Emergencies" proposes that POCT has better timeliness for the detection of cardiac markers, and it is recommended that cardiac markers: high-sensitivity troponin T (hs-cTnT), creatine kinase (CK-MB), B-type urnouretic peptide (BNP), N-terminal B-type urinary natriuretic peptide precursor (NT-proBNP), etc., should be used as indicators for screening, treatment and monitoring of cardiovascular diseases in POCT and emergency programs. D-dimer is used as one of the indicators for the evaluation of coagulation function and the monitoring of anticoagulation therapy.
