What else can I help you with?
Which isoenzyme is used as a specific marker in detecting myocardial infarction?
Ck-Mb
What is the term for myocardial infarction?
The common term used is heart attack or the initials MI.
Why is morphine used in acute myocardial infarction?
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).
What does it mean when you have a infraction of the heart?
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.
What is theKillip classification in heart failure?
Killip classification usually used in determining the level of seriousness of myocardial infarction rather than heart failure. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killip_class
Why diclofenac sodium not used for intravenous injection?
because it increases the sodium level in the body which causes hyertension and myocardial infarction
What agents are used for assessment of the suspected acute myocardial infarction?
Creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB), myoglobin, homocysteine, C-reactive protein (CRP), troponin T (cTnT), and troponin I (cTnI)
What color tube for LFTs?
green
What is the diagnostic procedure for myocardiac infarction?
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).
What is is used to assess myocardial damage?
Myocardial damage is typically assessed using biomarker tests, with troponin being the most specific and sensitive indicator for cardiac injury. Elevated levels of troponin in the blood suggest damage to heart muscle cells, often due to conditions like myocardial infarction. Other tests, such as creatine kinase (CK-MB) and myoglobin, can also be used, but troponin remains the gold standard for diagnosing myocardial damage. Additionally, imaging techniques like echocardiography can help evaluate heart function and structure.
What color blood tube for LFTs?
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.
What is an antimyocardial antibody test used to treat?
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.
