Question
Answer
CK-MB (careatine kinase, mycocardial muscle)   nl- 0-5% of total; total CK is 26 to 174 units/l, elevation indicates myocardial damage. Eleveation occurs w/in 4-6 hours;peaks 18-24 hrs following acute ischemia attach  
🗑
LDH (lactic dehydrogenase)   nl 140-280 iu/l, elevation occurs 24 hrs following MI & peak in 48-72 hrs. Normally LDH1 is lower than LDH2;when LDH1 is higher than LDH2 the pattern is "flipped" signifiying myocardial necrosis  
🗑
myoglobin   nl results range 0-85ng/ml, O2 binding protein found in cardiac & skeletal muscle Lvls rise w/in 1hr.peaks 4-6 (1st Indicator) returns to nl 24/36 hrs.  
🗑
CBC   RBC, WBC, HCT & HGB  
🗑
Elevated RBC   in conditions characterized by inadequate tissue oxygenation  
🗑
Elevated WBC   needed to dispose of necrotic tissue  
🗑
Low HGB & HCT   indicates anemia  
🗑
Elevated Coagulation Factors   can occur during and after MI, place pt at greater risk of thrombophlebitis & the extension of clots in the coronary arteries  
🗑
Serum Lipids   used to assess the risk of developing CAD measures serum chol, trigs, lipoprotein levels  
🗑
cholesterol level   under 200  
🗑
LDL   less than 130 "lethal" cholesterol  
🗑
HDL   30-70 healthy cholesterol  
🗑
lipoprotein-a (lp(a))   modified form of LDL that elevated athersclerotic plaques & elevated clot formation should be less than 30 mg/dl  
🗑
homocysteine   nl less than 14 mmol/dl, an amino acid produced by the body after eating meat, elevated lvls cause atherosclerosis & excessive blood clotting  
🗑
C-reactive protein (CRP)   less than 1 low risk higher than 3 risk for heart dz, detects an inflammatory process associated with the development of atherothrombosis  
🗑
B-type natriuretic peptide (BMP)   nl <100 pg/ml released in response to atrial & ventricular stretch marker for CHF  
🗑
