Organic biosensor detects onset of acute myocardial ischaemia

Thursday, April 23, 2009 - 08:56 in Physics & Chemistry

Engineering researchers at the University of Arkansas have fabricated and tested a unique biosensor that measures concentrations of potassium and hydrogen ions in the human heart with high specificity. The research could lead to a superior method of monitoring indicators of acute myocardial ischaemia, or AMI, one of the leading causes of cardiovascular failure...
