What are three lab tests we run for chest pain? - ANSWER✔✔-Creatine Kinase,
Troponin, Myoglobin
What are the details about Creatine Kinase? - ANSWER✔✔-It's specific to myocardial
cells, because if myocardial cells are damaged, CK is released. This number peaks in 15-
20 hours after incident.
What about Troponin? - ANSWER✔✔-Levels rise more quickly, and is more specific to
heart damage than CK. Peaks in same amount of time.
What about Myoglobin test? - ANSWER✔✔-Rises very quickly after MI, and is cleared
in one day. IT can only be measured within 12 of hours of MI
Cardiac Natriuretic Peptide Markers - ANSWER✔✔-When the value is elevated, then
the heart is being overworked. The uretic is given so kidneys will pee out fluid and
relieve stress on the heart.

, Difference between HDL, LDL, and triglycerides? - ANSWER✔✔-HDL is considered
the good, LDL the bad, and Tri is the ugly. HDL should be higher to protect the body
Define these four ECG's
Telemetry, 12 lead, holter, and stress - ANSWER✔✔-Telemetry keeps a track of the
electrical activity of the heart
12 lead is twelve different electrodes across the body to get all the best angles of the
heart function
Holter is remote tracing that people wear for a few days to look for correlation between
activity and heart rate
Tress test is where you put a 12 lead on someone and have them walk.
What is an ECHO and how do you read it? Transesophageal? - ANSWER✔✔-You read
it upside down and backwards (LV is upper right). This helps us see how the left
ventricle is working because it has the most amount of push and work in the heart.
We sedate patients and put a tube down the esophagus to help get a clearer picture
What is an angiogram and where do you do it from? - ANSWER✔✔-This is the most
evasive way to view the heart. You do it femorally or radially, and it helps us check for
blockages and/or heart disease. We inject die into vascular part of the heart.
