Answer 11

When you have injury to tissue there is a flip in concentration of LDH-1 and LDH-2. Normally LDH-2 is more abundant but after a MI, LDH-1 increases.

Answer 12

0-3mcg/L

Question 16

Normal level for troponin T?

Question 17

What does a lipid panel include?

Answer 17

Total cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL, LDL

Question 18

What is “flipped LDH”

Answer 18

Protein whos serum concentration increase or decrease by 25% during inflammatory state?

Question 22

Why is c-reactive protein-high sensitivity not used to detect MI?

Answer 22

They are not specific for one illness. They can rise from multiple diseases. Use to detect if someone is at risk in the future for MI.

Question 23

What is an inverse risk factor of CHD?

Answer 23

HDL

Question 24

What does a lipid panel include?

Answer 24

Total cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL, LDL

Question 25

Normal value for total cholesterol?

Question 26

What are acceptable values for HDL?

Answer 28

70-100 mg/dL

Question 29

LDL can be divided into what pattern types?

Answer 29

Pattern A- large particles
Pattern B-tiny particles
Pattern C- intermediate particles

Question 30

Which pattern can put an individual at a greater risk for CHD?

Answer 30

Pattern B because they are tiny and can penetrate artery walls increasing atherosclerosis.
