VIDEO DESCRIPTION
Drs. Baugh, Peacock and Jaffe review the implications on clinical practice a ED physician can expect as a result of conversion to the High Sensitivity Troponin assay.
This video program is accredited for 0.25 Hours of CME/CE Credit and is expected to take approximately 15 minutes to complete.
TARGET AUDIENCE
This activity has been designed to enhance the awareness of the improved management of patients at risk of cardiac injury/death through the use of the newer high sensitivity troponin assay in the diagnosis and management of cardiac events.
EDUCATIONAL GOAL
The goal of this activity is to provide clinicians with the latest updates in the use of high-sensitivity Troponin in the diagnosis and management of cardiac events.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
- Understand how to integrate the results of a high-sensitivity troponin result into their risk-stratification assessment for myocardial ischemia
- Recognize when a single high-sensitivity troponin assays is sufficient to evaluate a patient for myocardial ischemia
