How can AUDICOR® help emergency physicians diagnose heart failure?
Eighty percent of heart failure admissions are diagnosed in the emergency departments, where the misdiagnosis rate for primary heart failure is between 10-20%. In one study, AUDICOR® helped correct approximately 34% of the missed diagnosed patients. These missed patients had 3x the incidence of pulmonary disease, less history of heart failure, and lab BNP results under the 500 pg/ml cut-off, and longer lengths of hospital stays. AUDICOR® is helping reduce the missed diagnosis rate and shorten lengths of hospital stays by providing actionable diagnostic data at the patient’s bedside.
