Rapid diagnosis of acute MI is critical for early treatment. Unfortunately, the typical symptoms associated with MI - acute chest pain often accompanied with pain in the upper body, shortness of breath, nausea, tiredness, sweating – are not necessarily present in each case, nor are they unique to this condition.7 The clinical assessment, even when combined with an electrocardiogram (ECG), is thus often not sufficient to diagnose or exclude MI.
