MMSC 436 Practice Quiz 3 Questions with Correct Answers
UPDATED!!!
Which one of the following cardiac biomarkers is elevated
about 50 times the upper limit of normal at 24 hours after
onset of an acute myocardial infarction?
Troponin
Why would high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (CRP) be an
indicator of a potential myocardial infarction?
It is an acute phase reactant plasma protein that rises in
response to inflammation and the atherosclerotic process.
We have an expert-written solution to this problem!
In which of the following disorders is measurement of brain
type natriuretic peptide (BNP clinically useful?
Congestive heart failure
Myoglobin is a good cardiac marker because it:
Diffuses into the blood more quickly than CK-MB.
The troponin complex consists of which of the following?
Troponin T, troponin I, and troponin C

Which one of the following is considered to be the most specific
marker for adverse ventricular remodeling following an acute
myocardial infarction?
Brain natriuretic peptide (BNP)
Which one of the following cardiac markers is elevated for the
longest period of time after a myocardial infarction?
Troponins
Which one of the following specimen types and collection
methods is best for laboratory assessment of brain natriuretic
peptide (BNP) in the evaluation of congestive heart failure?
EDTA-anticoagulated whole blood or plasma in plastic blood
collection tubes only
Laboratory measurements for brain natriuretic peptide (BNP)
be reported in..
nanograms/liter.
A cardiac marker that increases progressively with increasing
severity of disease and is not increased (or decreased) in
conditions that mimic congestive heart failure is..
B-type natriuretic peptide.
The most common laboratory method used to assess brain
natriuretic peptides is..
immunoassay
