Abstract

To assure ideal outcomes for patients with heart disease care relies primarily on precise and fast diagnosis. Rapid diagnostic technology and methodologies have become known as critical aids for this endeavour. This summary presents an overview of quick cardiac diagnostic methods and technology that have changed the state of coronary artery disease care. Diagnostic techniques are frequently lengthy, resulting in difficulties in implementing relevant therapies. However, recent advancements have resulted in the implementation of novel procedures that speed up the identification of heart disorders. These technologies include imaging techniques, biomarker analysis, and point-of-care testing. Echocardiography, cardiac Magnetic resonance images, and computed tomography scans have been developed to provide quick and comprehensive visualization of heart structures and functions. These non-surgical procedures allow doctors to quickly examine cardiac problems, allowing for faster decision-making. Biomarker examination has transformed coronary artery disease detection by allowing the recognition of particular molecules indicative of cardiac damage or malfunction. High-sensitivity cardiac troponin tests along with additional biomarkers have significantly decreased the time necessary to diagnose illnesses like acute myocardial infarction and heart failure. Point-of-care testing equipment has developed as a critical instrument for quick cardiac diagnosis, which permits immediate time examination at the patient's bedside. These gadgets provide immediate data for cardiac biomarkers, coagulation factors, and electrolyte levels, allowing for faster assessment and a diagnosis start.
