CLS Exam 2 (Clinical Chemistry Part III) with all Correct &
100% Verified Answers |Already Graded A+
who are 5 things that put people at risk for cardiac disease? ✔Correct Answer-1. age
2. gender
3. patients with pre existing conditions (diabetes)
4. hereditary
5. high cholesterol (LDL)
7 steps to reduce risk of heart disease ✔Correct Answer-1. get active
2. control cholesterol
3. eat healthy
4. don't smoke
5. control blood pressure
6. lose weight
7. reduce blood sugar
Markers for myocardial infarction (6) ✔Correct Answer-1. myoglobin
2. creatine kinase
3. Troponin T
4. Troponin I
5. Homocysteine
6. Natriuretic peptides
why are markers for myocardial infarction detected able to be detected? ✔Correct Answer-
cells are damaged and these enzymatic markers leak into the bloodstream where they are not
normally seen
which are the best enzymatic markers for detecting myocardial infarction? ✔Correct Answer-
the Troponins since they last longer in bloodstream
-other peaks decline fast so you can't really detect it after a while
myoglobin cardiac marker - cardiac specific? detected in what two instances? ✔Correct
Answer--not cardiac specific
-can be increased in trauma and renal disease
-can be measured using:
-->ELISA
-->nephelometry
troponin cardiac marker - considered the what in cardiac markers? remain elevated in blood for
how long? ✔Correct Answer--the gold standard of cardiac biomarkers
-made of up of 3 proteins that bind cardiac muscle (TnT, TnI, TnC)
