Can a patient have MI without ECG changes but troponin positive after 20 hours CK was also elevated initially?
A significant portion of Acute Coronary Syndrome patients have few ECG changes. They are diagnosed based largely on positive enzymes and those aggressively treated early have much better outcomes.
Can cardiomyopathy cause dysrythmia?
Each normal heart beat is started in the atrium by electrical activity from the sinus node. The current triggers the heart to contract rhythmicly from the top to bottom with the right contracting slightly faster than the left. This is seen on ECG as sinus rhythm. Any disruption to the proper flow of current through the heart will cause a disruption to the proper rhythm. This in no longer sinus rhythm. the specific dysrythmia is classified by severity and where the disruption is located in the heart. These changes are seen on ECG.
