Point of Care Tests (POCT): D-Dimer and Troponin. Update 2024
Point of care tests (POCTs) for troponin (Tn) and D-Dimer enable rapid diagnostics near patients. Tn-POCTs are used when there is a suspicion of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and D-Dimer-POCTs are used when there is a suspicion of venous thromboembolism (VTE).
The aim of this report is to evaluate the clinical utility of the two POC diagnostics, D-Dimer and troponin, in primary care.
