Cardiac Function

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Question
Answer
Myoglobin, creatine kinase (CK) and lactate dehydrogenase (LD), AST =Markers of cardiac injury   Damage to the myocardium results in the release of these proteins into the circulation!  
🗑
History of chest pain (clinical symptoms) Abnormal electrocardiogram (ECG) Rise and fall of cardiac markers in serum   Diagnosis of MI  
🗑
Necrosis (death) of an area of the heart muscle produces a Q wave on ECG    
🗑
STEMI (ST elevation MI): severe! Coronary artery completely blocked by clot. Traditional AMI! Cardiac necrosis, DEATH NSTEMI (non-ST elevation MI): artery only partially blocked, less severe, tracings also seen in unstable angina    
🗑
Biomarkers released into circulation from damaged myocytes: AST , LD and its isoenzymes Then CK and one of its fractions CK-MB    
🗑
CK-MB: in AMI rises w/in 4-6h, peaks 12-24h, normal 2-3 days    
🗑
Cardiac Proteins   Myoglobin Cardiac troponins troponin T (cTnT) troponin I (cTnI) Cardiac myosin light chains CK isoforms  
🗑
Myoglobin: Rises: w/in 2-4h, Peaks: 6-12h, Normal : 24-36h nonspec marker   -Known as an EARLY marker! If normal after 8h, patient did NOT have an MI -used to RULE-OUT MI (↑helps to rule-in MI)  
🗑
cTnI/cTnT: Rises: w/in 4-6h, Peaks: 24h, Normal : 3-7d (up to 14d)   Used to RULE-IN AMI cTnI/T are SPECIFIC Markers  
🗑
Cardiac Troponins Used in identification of unstable angina No AMI but persistent small increase helps to rule-in UA    
🗑
BNP stimulates Na+ and water loss through kidneys (to relieve ventricular wall stretch and expanded fluid volume associated with CHF) Increases renal flow and GFR Discovered to be a marker for CHF!    
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
