What is the least accurate way to diagnose an MI?
CKMB and Troponin marker tests are used for diagnosis of a myocardial infarction. (heart attack). Keeping in mind that a positive blood marker is but one of three criteria used. For a diagnosis of an MI two of three criteria must be met. 1. positive elevation of the st segment in an ECG, 2. Symptoms consistent with myocardial infarction and/or 3. a positive troponin or CKMB. CKMB measures creatine kinase. This is a by product in blood from muscle damage. As the heart is a muscle this can be indicative of cardiac damage. This test is less reliable than a troponin test as results can be altered by other muscle damage. CKMB is not cardiac specific. Troponin is now the most commonly used test for cardiac damage. It is cardiac specific.
What blood work do you have to fast for?
Most commonly are blood glucose levels and metabolic tests related to glucose level, and nuclear medicine cardiac studies.
Is a 16.6 white blood count high?
Yes. A WBC ct. of 16.6 is indicative of an infection or an acute stress response, most commonly.
How is blood pumped in your body?
The human heart provides a continuous blood circulation through the cardiac cycle and is one of the most vital organs in the human body.
What veins are connected to the heart?
Heart Muscle VeinsThe veins that return blood from the heart muscle include the small cardiac vein (where present), the great cardiac vein (mostly from the left marginal vein), the middle cardiac vein, and the anterior cardiac veins. Most of these join to form the coronary sinus.Veins returning blood to the heart (right atrium - 7 )Inferior vena cavaSuperior vena cavaAnterior cardiac veinsSmallest cardiac veinsCoronary sinusVeins returning blood to the heart (left atrium - 4 )Left pulmonary veins (inferior and superior)Right pulmonary veins (inferior and superior)
Which lab test are ordered to assess heart damage?
ultrasound test can tell the heart how bad was damage after a heart attack
What are the warnings of cardiac arrhythmia?
warning signs of impending cardiac arrhythmia (the heart stops), the most common one is the sudden, abnormal development of increased or reduced heartbeat, Low blood pressure, or weakness.
What can cardiac arrest can result from?
A blockage in one or more of the arteries supplying blood to the heart muscles.
What two organs would be damaged most due to high blood pressure?
Well, high blood pressure can first damage the heart and blood vessels, then kidneys. But the effects are systemic and though gradual, can be lifelong damage.
Damage to the medulla would most likely result in?
it can lead to high blood pressure
Which organ is most important heart or brain?
heart because if heart is not present in body brain will not get blood and if brain will not get blood it will damage
What vein drains venous blood from the myocardium into the coronary sinus?
The heart pumps oxygenated blood only, all deoxygenated blood goes through veins so i think you are thinking about the aorta, which is the most important artery. And the myocardium is just the second layer of the heart, it isn't a part per se.
