      Seventy percent of patients admitted to coronary care units are ruled out for acute myocardial infarction. It has been estimated that 2-3 billion dollars each year could be saved if these non- AMI patients could be identified early, allowing the patient to be admitted to a less intensive setting. This study evaluated a new bedside device, the Cardiac STATus CK-MB/Myoglobin device for its utility in rapidly ruling out AMI. The device demonstrated a 99% negative predictive value within three hours of patient presentation.
