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 ecg finding is suggestive of an acute myocardsialinfarction?
An ECG finding suggestive of an acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is the presence of ST-segment elevation in specific leads, indicating myocardial injury. Additionally, new T-wave inversions or the appearance of Q waves can also indicate a myocardial infarction. These changes reflect the loss of electrical activity in the affected heart muscle due to ischemia. Early recognition of these signs is crucial for timely intervention.
What is the blood test performed to determine cardiac damage in an acute myocardial infarction is?
The blood test performed to determine cardiac damage in an acute myocardial infarction is called a cardiac enzyme test. This test measures levels of specific enzymes released into the bloodstream when heart muscle cells are damaged during a heart attack. The most commonly measured enzymes are troponin and creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB).
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.
What color tube for the test alk phos isoenzyme?
The test for alkaline phosphatase isoenzyme is typically performed using a lavender or pink tube, which contains EDTA as an anticoagulant. The choice of tube color may vary depending on the laboratory and manufacturer, so it's best to confirm with the specific lab where the test will be conducted.
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.
Electronic device for detecting specific compounds?
e-nose
What are the specific receptors in the body that are responsible for detecting and transmitting signals related to pain, known as?
The specific receptors in the body responsible for detecting and transmitting signals related to pain are called nociceptors.
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 would cause the r wave to have an negative deflection?
A negative deflection in the R wave on an ECG can be caused by various factors, such as an anatomical position that causes the depolarization wave to move away from the lead, reversed electrode placement, or certain cardiac conditions like right ventricular hypertrophy or posterior wall myocardial infarction. The specific cause would need to be determined based on the clinical context and additional ECG findings.
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).
