Heart attack

Mobile test detects infarction in minutes

The earlier a cardiac infarction is detected the better the patient's chances of survival. However, because tests for cardiac infarction check for protein molecules that are released from heart muscle during cell necrosis, and these enter the blood very slowly, it can take three hours to gain a reliable result.

Cardiac Assist Devices

Cardiac assist devices (CAD) are blood pumps that support the circulatory functions of severely ill cardiac patients.

AED - with spoken BLS instructions

For those without practised skills in using automatic external defibrillation (AED) and basic life support procedures, the prospect of coping with a case of sudden cardiac arrest is awesome.
