important biomarkers, which is repeated every 6-hours during
a 18-24 hour period. VectraCor reports to detect an AMI within
seconds, resulting in reduced cost and time for detection, which
potentially can save lives. Therefore, VectraCor's patented
technology is extremely important to both patient and clinician.
