Is myocardial infraction a proper noun?
"Myocardial infarction" is the medical term for a specific type of heart attack. It is not a proper noun.Proper nouns are the names of people, places or things, and are normally capitalized, such as Abraham Lincoln, or Springfield, Illinois.
What is the difference between ischaemia and infarction?
Ischemia=decreased oxygen/nutrients Infarction=no blood flow to the area ischemia can leads to infarction. ischemia means, reduced of blood supply to specific organ. while, infarction refers to death tissue.
Electronic device for detecting specific compounds?
e-nose
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.
The million's test is specific test for?
A test for detecting the presence of proteins.
What does the medical abbreviation MIA mean?
MIA is not a common abbreviation in healthcare, and may be one used in a specific locality or specialization. Some examples are: Malnutrition, Inflammation and Atherosclerosis Malanoma Inhibitory Activity
What is the process of detecting specific elements in visual input and assembling them into a more complex form?
feature analysis
Ast level 64 alt 39 and cpk 602 in 6 months child what does that mean?
This is almost impossible to answer due to the vagueness of the condition. Consult with your child's paediatrician. AST and ALT are enzymes that are contained within most cells, ALT being more specific to the liver and the heart. If levels rise, these indicate cell damage and the cells burst, releasing these enzymes into the blood. CPK is also an non-specific indicater of muscular damage, but more relevant to skeletal muscle damage and heart attacks (myocardial infarction).
What aftercare is required after the creatine kinase test?
There is typically no specific aftercare required after a creatine kinase (CK) test. The test itself is a simple blood draw, and most people can resume their usual activities immediately after. It is always advisable to follow any instructions given by the healthcare provider, such as avoiding strenuous exercise if recommended.
Who performs myocardial resection?
Electrophysiologists, cardiac surgeons and cardiologists, specially trained in cardiac electrical signaling and ventricular reconstruction have undergone specific training in these procedures.

What are the drugs used in myocardial infarction?
glycerate nitrate is given as soon as some one suffers from a myocardial infarction. it is give via buccal route so can be absorbed quickly and show its affect. ---- In a myocardial infarction, demand for oxygen and other substrates in a particular part of the myocardium is greater than the supply. Most often, this is caused by thrombosis in an epicardial artery, resulting in ischemia (cell injury) and, later, infarction (cell death). Infarction does not happen immediately, however, so if one gets treated in time, myocardium may be saved. There are several classes of medication that are given to people having myocardial infarctions. The first of these include oxygen, aspirin, and nitroglycerin. Heparin and Plavix are other medications that may be given immediately. Many centers have cardiac catheterization suites and those listed above may be some of the only medications given to the patient while they are having the infarction. Thrombectomy and stenting performed in the "cath lab," effectively aborting the infarction. If a "cath lab" is not available at the hospital, or within a reasonable period of time by transfer, the patient may be eligible for thrombolytics, which are medications given to help dissolve clots. There are several of these, the most common is recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (r-tPA). These medications are given by IV drip and selectively break up clots in the body. They are not specific for clots only in the heart, however, and there is significant risk of bleeding during and for a period of time after receiving these medications. Patient selection is very strict, including past history and the amount of time the patient has been experiencing the symptoms of the myocardial infarction. If r-tPA is used, it is usually followed by a heparin infusion to help prevent re-clotting in the injured vessel.
