Optical immunosensing of effective cardiac biomarkers on acute myocardial infarction

Abstract

This review describes: the advantages of examples of optical methods used in immunosensing of cardiac biomarkers and their reported applications, stressing their potential for future developments; evaluation of some progress toward viable cardiac-biomarker measurements for detection and diagnostics of myocardial infarction; and, trends in the development of optical immunosensors, including integrated immunosensors, and the application of nanotechnology and microfluidic technology.
