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 is a perfusion studies?

Perfusion studies are imaging tests that evaluate the blood flow through organs or tissues, often using radioactive tracers to identify areas with reduced blood supply. These tests can help diagnose conditions such as heart disease, strokes, and peripheral artery disease by showing how well blood is reaching specific areas of the body. Perfusion studies are commonly used in nuclear medicine and radiology.
