Cardiovascular disease and cardiac biomarkers

INR self testing

Partner with the pioneers for earlier, more confident clinical decision-making.

 

Worldwide, over 30% of all deaths are attributable to cardiovascular disease (CVD).1 In the UK alone, CVD affects around seven million people and is responsible for one in four premature deaths. 2 The increasing incidence and high healthcare costs associated with CVDs require a holistic approach to prevention, early detection & treatment and monitoring of disease progression. Used in conjunction with clinical information, cardiac biomarkers are crucial to support an early and accurate diagnosis.3-6

 

Roche has been the pioneer in in vitro diagnostic tests for CVD decision making for over 30 years. As a market leader in cardiac biomarkers,7 Roche offers diagnostic tests for heart failure (HF), acute coronary syndrome (ACS), and atrial fibrillation (AF) to support early clinical decision making, improved patient management, and increased efficiency & cost management.
