No, LFTs evaluate liver function.

The common term used is heart attack or the initials MI.
During an Acute MI (Myocardial Infarction), the heart muscle has a reduced oxygen supply and dies. This is very painful, so Diamorphine is often given for analgesia (pain relief).
You are probably asking about the word infarction. It is a strange word if you are not used to it. Myocardial infarction is another way of saying heart attack. A part of the heart suffers oxygen loss because of an obstruction in one of the arteries that feeds the heart muscle itself.
Killip classification usually used in determining the level of seriousness of myocardial infarction rather than heart failure. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killip_class
because it increases the sodium level in the body which causes hyertension and myocardial infarction
Creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB), myoglobin, homocysteine, C-reactive protein (CRP), troponin T (cTnT), and troponin I (cTnI)

The myocardium is the muscle of the heart, so myocardial inflammation would be swelling of this tissue, for instance. A myocardial infarction is also known as a heart attack, where blood flow is blocked to the myocardium. The type of heart attack would depend on what abnormalities were found on EKG (ie: ST elevation=ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction, or STEMI).
A gold or tiger-top tube is typically used for liver function tests (LFTs). These tubes contain a clot activator and a gel separator to obtain serum for analysis.
This test may be done on a person who recently had trauma to the heart, such as heart surgery or a myocardial infarction (heart attack ). It also may be done on someone with heart disease, such as cardiomyopathy or rheumatic fever.
does myocardial perfusion scan show blockage in heart system.
