Sensitive and specific biomarker for ischemic heart disease Answer: Troponin
Nonspecific biomarker for ischemic heart disease Answer: Creatine Kinase (CK)
Creatine Kinase (CK) Answer: Nonspecific biomarker for ischemic heart disease
Cardio-specific biomarker for ischemic heart disease Answer: Creatine Kinase (CK)
Creatine Kinase (CK) Answer: Cardio-specific biomarker for ischemic heart disease
NSTEMI Answer: Non ST segment elevation MI
- a heart attack that is not diagnosed on the EKG but is diagnosed by an elevated
troponin on blood test
- ST depression or T inversion with raised troponin
A heart attack that is not diagnosed on the EKG but is diagnosed by an elevated
troponin on blood test
- ST depression or T inversion with raised troponin Answer: NSTEMI
STEMI Answer: ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction
- diagnosed on the EKG anf by an elevated troponin on blood test
- ST elevation or new LBBB or true posterior MI
