62
Q

Troponin

A

A troponin test measures the levels of troponin T or troponin I proteins in the blood. These proteins are released when the heart muscle has been damaged, such as occurs with a heart attack. The more damage there is to the heart, the greater the amount of troponin T and I there will be in the blood.
-Obtained via a blood test

63
Q

CK-MB

A

A creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB) test may be used as a follow-up test to an elevated creatine kinase (CK) in order to determine whether the increase is due to heart damage or skeletal muscle damage. The test is most likely to be ordered if a person has chest pain or if a person’s diagnosis is unclear, such as if a person has nonspecific symptoms like shortness of breath, extreme fatigue, dizziness, or nausea.

64
Q

BNP

A

To help detect, diagnose, and in some cases evaluate the severity of heart disease, including congestive heart failure (CHF).
When to get tested: When you have symptoms such as shortness of breath, fatigue, excessive fluid in your abdomen, and swollen ankles and legs after a heart attack or during treatment for heart disease
-Tests for BNP and NT-proBNP measure their levels in the blood in order to detect and evaluate heart failure. The two tests are not interchangeable and should not be used together. Your healthcare practitioner should order one or the other but not both.

65
Q

CBC

A

Complete blood count: To determine your general health status; to screen for, diagnose, or monitor any one of a variety of diseases and conditions that affect blood cells, such as anemia, infection, inflammation, bleeding disorder or cancer

66
Q

Pericardial fluid Analysis

A

A sample of fluid collected from the pericardial sac using a procedure called a pericardiocentesis. To help diagnose the cause of inflammation of the membrane surrounding the heart (pericardium) and/or fluid accumulation around the heart.

67
Q

68
Q

69
Q

Electrocardiogram (EKG, ECG)

A

Records electrical activity of the heart

70
Q

Cardiac stress test

A

Types include exercise-induced stress test, stress echo, and nuclear stress test

  • Normal result: Uptake on exercise and at rest
  • Ischemia result: No/reduced uptake on exercise, but uptake at rest (reperfusion)
  • Infarct result: No uptake on exercise and no uptake at rest
71
Q

Cardiac catheterization

A

A group of procedures that includes coronary angiography and left ventricle angiography; can be diagnostic or therapeutic

72
Q

A

The patient wears a monitor to evaluate heart rhythm over a period of time

73
Q

A

Estimates blood flow through vessels using sound waves

74
Q

Physical Exam Findings: Cardiovascular

A
