2. Cardiac marker - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiac_marker

   Cardiac markers are biomarkers measured to evaluate heart function. They can be useful in the early prediction or diagnosis of disease. [ 1 ] Although they are often discussed in the context of myocardial infarction , other conditions can lead to an elevation in cardiac marker level.

3. Diagnosis of myocardial infarction - Wikipedia

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

   Previous WHO criteria [7] formulated in 1979 put less emphasis on cardiac biomarkers; according to these, a patient is diagnosed with myocardial infarction if two (probable) or three (definite) of the following criteria are satisfied: Clinical history of ischaemic type chest pain lasting for more than 20 minutes; Changes in serial ECG tracings

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. Myocardial infarction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myocardial_infarction

   A myocardial infarction (2) has occurred with blockage of a branch of the left coronary artery (1). A myocardial infarction, according to current consensus, is defined by elevated cardiac biomarkers with a rising or falling trend and at least one of the following: [82] Symptoms relating to ischemia

   Scientists have found new biomarkers that may help predict heart disease risk in women, ... (myocardial infarction/MI). ... The women had a mean age of 67, and no history of heart disease. ...

7. Troponin - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troponin

   After a myocardial infarction troponins may remain high for up to 2 weeks. [16] Cardiac troponins are a marker of all heart muscle damage, not just myocardial infarction, which is the most severe form of heart disorder. However, diagnostic criteria for raised troponin indicating myocardial infarction is currently set by the WHO at a threshold ...

8. Heart-type fatty acid binding protein - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heart-type_fatty_acid...

   H-FABP is a sensitive biomarker for myocardial infarction [12] [13] and can be detected in the blood within one to three hours of the pain. The diagnostic potential of the biomarker H-FABP for heart injury was discovered in 1988 by Professor Jan Glatz (Maastricht, Netherlands). [14]

9. 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.
