1. Cardiac Deterioration Flashcards
1
Q
What is creatinine kinase (ck)?
A
An enzyme expressed by various tissues and cell types - decreases more rapidly than troponin
2
Q

A
Male: 38 - 174, Female: 96 - 140
3
Q
Creatinine kinase: onset
A
4 - 6 hours
4
Q
Creatinine kinase: peaks
A
12 - 24 hours
5
Q
Creatinine kinase: duration
A
3 - 5 days
6
Q
Troponin (cTn): normal levels
A
undetectable
7
Q
Troponin: onset
A
4 - 6 hours
8
Q

up to 14 days
10
Q
Sodium: normal values
A
134 - 145
11
