Homogeneous Chemiluminescence Immunoassay ––– A rapid exclusion of venous thromboembolism D-Dimer Test Kits Stroke center Cardiology Department Intensive Care Unit, ICU

Introduction Accurate, early diagnosis of VTE (DVT/PE) is critical to prevent complications and risk of death. Imaging techniques are required for a positive diagnosis, including compression ultrasound (CUS) and CT pulmonary angiography (CTPA) for diagnosis of DVT and PE, respectively (1). However, the low prevalence of confirmed VTE in suspected outpatients (20% or less) underscores the importance of a first triage by a non-invasive exclusion test in order to avoid unnecessary imaging (2). Over the past 25 years, the clinical usefulness of D-dimer testing in the diagnosis of patients with suspected...
