2. Cardiac marker - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiac_marker

   Cardiac markers are used for the diagnosis and risk stratification of patients with chest pain and suspected acute coronary syndrome and for management and prognosis in patients with diseases like acute heart failure. Most of the early markers identified were enzymes, and as a result, the term "cardiac enzymes" is sometimes used. However, not ...

3. Diagnosis of myocardial infarction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diagnosis_of_myocardial...

   When damage to the heart occurs, levels of cardiac markers rise over time, which is why blood tests for them are taken over a 24-hour period. Because these enzyme levels are not elevated immediately following a heart attack, patients presenting with chest pain are generally treated with the assumption that a myocardial infarction has occurred ...

4. CPK-MB test - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CPK-MB_test

   The CPK-MB test (creatine phosphokinase-MB), also known as CK-MB test, is a cardiac marker [3] used to assist diagnoses of an acute myocardial infarction, myocardial ischemia, or myocarditis. It measures the blood level of CK-MB (creatine kinase myocardial band), the bound combination of two variants (isoenzymes CKM and CKB ) of the enzyme ...

5. Troponin - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troponin

   Cardiac injury occurs in about one-third of severe CO poisoning cases, and troponin screening is appropriate in these patients. [23] [24] In both primary pulmonary hypertension, pulmonary embolism, and acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), right ventricular strain results in increased wall tension and may cause ...

   A variety of blood tests are available for analyzing cholesterol transport behavior, HDL, LDL, triglycerides, lipoprotein little a, homocysteine, C-reactive protein, blood sugar control: fasting, after eating or averages using glycated albumen or hemoglobin, myoglobin, creatine kinase, troponin, brain-type natriuretic peptide, etc. to assess the evolution of coronary artery disease and ...

   A new approach to a routine blood test could predict a person’s 30-year risk of heart disease, research published Saturday in the New England Journal of Medicine found.. Doctors have long ...

8. Acute coronary syndrome - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acute_coronary_syndrome

   Acute coronary syndrome is subdivided in three scenarios depending primarily on the presence of electrocardiogram (ECG) changes and blood test results (a change in cardiac biomarkers such as troponin levels): [4] ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI), or unstable angina. [5]

9. Brain natriuretic peptide 32 - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain_natriuretic_peptide_32

   The BNP test is also used for the risk stratification of patients with acute coronary syndromes. [42] [43] When interpreting an elevated BNP level, values may be elevated due to factors other than heart failure. Lower levels are often seen in obese patients. [44] Higher levels are seen in those with renal disease, in the absence of heart failure.
