Before a major heart attack occurs there is a breakdown of muscular tissue in the heart, on a lesser scale then the coming major heart attack, which causes the protein Cardiac Troponin to breakdown. Cardiac Troponin I, one of the elements that cardiac troponin breaks down into, can be used to recognize this drastically increased likelihood of heart attacks. This technique is already done in hospitals for patients in the cardiac ward by checking their blood but it is not yet practical to have a machine that can recognize Cardiac Troponin I outside of the hospital. Enabling this progression to home use, for individuals at risk but not in a hospital, is the end goal behind the eventual Nanolyzer design.
