Does blood pressure decrease with a heart attack patient?
It can be. The heart is a pump. If the heart attack is severe enough to affect the pumping cabability of the heart then your blood pressure would drop. This is not a good sign to see in someone with a heart attack.
What is the purpose for heart cauterization?
also called coronary angiogram, is a test to check your heart and coronary arteries. It is used to check blood flow in the coronary arteries , blood flow and blood pressure in the chambers of the heart , find out how well the heart valves work, and check for defects in the way the wall of the heart moves. In children, this test is used to check for heart problems that have been present since birth (congenital heart defect).
Why do footballers use the bleep test?
This is a test for the heart health.
What are heart enzymes?
Enzymes of the heart.ANSWER 2 Different Cardiac EnzymesThe heart is a muscular pump. When a person experiences a heart attack, a portion of the heart muscle is damaged, causing symptoms such as shortness of breath, chest pain that can radiate, nausea, vomiting, dizziness and sweating. One way of determining whether these symptoms are the result of actual heart dysfunction or heart attack is through blood tests that evaluate the cardiac enzymes. When the heart muscle is damaged, it releases these cardiac enzymes into the bloodstream. When a blood test measures increased cardiac enzymes, it is an indicator that actual damage has resulted.Creatinine PhosphokinaseAccording to the American Heart Association, the most common cardiac enzyme to be tested when a heart attack is suspected is creatinine phosphokinase (CPK). This enzyme is normally present in small amounts in the blood and is released by all muscle tissue in the body--skeletal, cardiac and smooth muscle. When CPK is elevated, it indicates muscle damage and further tests can be ordered. Often, when a patient enters a medical facility complaining of heart attack symptoms, elevated CPK may be the only indicator that a heart attack has actually occurred. Sometimes CPK will not read high in the blood until 24 hours after the heart attack, so careful monitoring for a period of time is required. CPK-MBCPK-MB is a fractional piece of creatinine phosphokinase. Although CPK is released from all muscle tissue in the body, CPK-MB is released only from damaged heart tissue, so it is much more accurate in determining whether a heart attack has occurred. CPK-MB is diagnostic for a heart attack even in the presence of a normal EKG. CPK-MB may not be elevated in the blood until 12 to 24 hours after a heart attack. Increased accuracy in diagnosis may be found by repeating the CPK-MB blood test multiple times over the first 24 hours, looking for changes in levels. TroponinsTroponins, proteins found in muscle tissue, help modulate actin and myosin, which are responsible for muscle contraction. Some very specific troponins have been identified as occurring only in the heart muscle, specifically Troponin T and Troponin I. These can be tested for and measured. These troponins are normally present in very low quantities in the blood. When elevated, they can indicate even very minor heart tissue damage that may not show up with a CPK test. Troponin typically shows up in the blood as elevated within 12 hours after a heart attack. By measuring Troponin and CPK, it is possible to diagnose a heart attack even when other tests may be negative.

Can you pull the muscle around your heart?
I know that I went thru a day were I thought I was having a heart attack. I went to the ER 2 times in 1 weekend. The results that the doctor said was that " I was not having a heart attack but that I had pulled muscles' around my heart" I have been trying to find more information on-line about this but with not much results. I did every test except for the stress test which I will have my family doctor do on the 9th of December. If you find anymore news I look forward to reading it. Lalita Sundari

Which test s is used to assist the physician in evaluating a heart attack?
Troponin - this is an enzyme only found in heart muscle tissue. When damage occurs (as in a heart attack) the muscle will release troponin into the bloodstream.
What is echcardiography?

It shows you weather you have heart disease, or bad heart valves. It can also show you if their is a blockage somewhere that may lead up at a heart attack.
Troponin tests are used to assess?
Troponin tests are ordered to evaluate someone who has chest pain to test for a heart attack or other damage to the heart. It is ordered when a person with a heart attack comes to the emergency room and are preformed every several hours.
