My talk at the Manchester Metropolitan University (MMU) Science & Engineering Symposium 2016 (www.sciengsymp.co.uk), with a bit shout out to TUDelft and Alex Momont for their terrific take on using drones in cardiac arrest. Would this work for acute coronary syndromes too? For more on the drones, see: http://www.alecmomont.com/projects/dronesforgood/

Editor's Notes
- Rick So we really do need cardiac troponin. It’s a terrific biomarker, it can detect microscopic amounts of myocardial injury that we could never detect by other means, and it’s HIGHLY cardiac specific. Finding a troponin elevation that hasn’t been caused by genuine myocardial injury really is VERY RARE.
