An Iranian company developed a diagnostic test to detect heart attacks in just 10 minutesaccording to local media reports.
As reported by newspaper reports, the medical test relies on measuring blood levels of troponin, a protein found in the heart, which can show whether the patient is having or has recently had a heart attack.
Although troponin is not usually present in the blood, it is released into the bloodstream when the heart muscle breaks down. The more damage the damage, the greater the amount of this cardiac protein in the bloodstream.
According to the Iranian scientists who developed this kit, the test can be performed both at home and in a hospital, since only a drop of blood from a fingertip is needed to obtain a diagnosis.
For his part, the owner of the company declared to the signal PressTV that they plan to distribute the diagnostic kit to countries in the region, stating that the potential market to equip hospitals in neighboring nations with their test amounts to more than 200 million dollars.
According to the news outlet, the test, which has been approved by national and foreign bodies, is already used in dozens of Iranian hospitals, which has represented savings for the country between 2.4 and 3.6 million dollars.
