What are three lab tests we run for chest pain? Creatine Kinase,
Troponin, Myoglobin
What are the details about Creatine Kinase? It's specific to
myocardial cells, because if myocardial cells are damaged, CK is
released. This number peaks in 15-20 hours
after incident.
What about Troponin? Levels rise more quickly, and is more
specific to heart damage than CK.
Peaks in same amount of time.
What about Myoglobin test?Rises very quickly after MI, and is
cleared in one day. IT can only be
measured within 12 of hours of MI
Cardiac Natriuretic Peptide Markers When the value is elevated, then
,the heart is being overworked. The uretic is given
so kidneys will pee out fluid and relieve
stress on the heart.
Difference between HDL, LDL, and triglycerides? HDL is considered
the good, LDL the bad, and Tri is the ugly. HDL should be
higher to protect the body
Define these four ECG's Telemetry keeps a track of the electrical
activity of the heart
Telemetry, 12 lead, holter, and stress 12 lead is twelve different
electrodes across the body to get all the
best angles of the heart function
Holter is remote tracing that people wear
for a few days to look for correlation
between activity and heart rate
Tress test is where you put a 12 lead on
someone and have them walk.
What is an ECHO and how do you read it? You read it upside
down and backwards (LV is upper right). This helps us see how
Transesophageal? the left ventricle is working because it
, has the most amount of push and work in
the heart.
We sedate patients and put a tube
down the esophagus to help get a
clearer picture
What is an angiogram and where do you do it from? This is the most
evasive way to view the heart. You do it femorally or radially, and it
helps us check for blockages and/or
heart disease. We inject die into
vascular part of the heart.
Numbers for prehypertension and stage 1
hypertension Pre: 120-139
or 80-89
Stage 1: greater than 139 or 89
Difference between systole and diastole Systole is the heart
squeezing and pumping from the artery
Diastole is when the heart is at rest and
filling up
