Cardiac POC testing is a test performed for the diagnosis of heart disorders. POC or Point-of-care testing, also referred to as bedside test, is a diagnostic test at the point or position of care at the same place and time of patient care. Cardiac POC testing is a simple blood test that includes cholesterol and coagulation testing. Coagulation testing helps physicians examine the risk of developing thrombosis, clotting and bleeding inside blood vessels in the body, including the heart. Cardiac POC tests include Troponin, Creatine Kinase MB Isoenzyme s, and Brain Natriuretic Peptide (BNP) analysis, which are mainly employed to identify cardiovascular ailments such as, heart failure, myocardial infarction, and coronary syndromes. Cardiac POC testing device help to detect enzymes that are released at some point in heart failure and in vital cardiac conditions such as lactate dehydrogenase isoenzymes, brain Natriuretic Peptide s, kinase, and synthesizing Troponin.
Market Dynamics
The market for cardiac POC testing devices is gaining significant traction due to rising prevalence of cardiac disorders. According to World Health Organizations (WHO), 2011, around 8 million people suffered from coronary and peripheral heart diseases, which recorded the major cause of all the deaths, accounting for around 44% of total deaths in the U.S. Technological innovations and developments of cardiac POC testing devices are contributing to the market growth. For instance, the FDA approval of Firmware software in August 2017, launched by Abbott Laboratories is embedded in the hardware of a cardiac testing device. With this device, the cardiac rhythm can be easily monitored as well as control for the people at high-risk. However, lack of operating knowledge and economic instability in emerging economies are the factors restraining the market growth.
