Q

how do we draw Tropinin and Ck? why?

A

we draw serial, every 4-6 hours

it takes a long time to elevate and just because it isn’t elevated one time doesn’t mean that it is not cardiac related

34
Q

questions to ask for onset

A

when did your symptoms start
what were you doing when it began

35
Q

questions to ask for provocation/palliative/precipitating

A

did anything bring on the pain
does anything make it better or worse

36
Q

questions to ask for quality

A

how would you describe it

37
Q

questions for region/radiation/referal

A

where exactly is your discomfort
does the pain go anywhere

38
Q

how do we as severity

A

numerical

39
Q

questions to ask for timing

A

does it come and go or is it a constant pain

40
Q

what might diabetics think that MI symptoms are caused by

A

diabetes/ or sugar control

41
Q

stable anina

A

predicatable
typically exercised induced
relieved with nitro

42
Q

unstable angina

A

change in previously established stable pattern of angina
more intense

43
Q

variant/prinzemtal angina

A

midnight to 5am
same time every night
spasm

44
Q

what type of sclerosis do we see

A

atherosclerosis

45
Q

criteria for type 1 MI
