Study Notes
Cardiac Conditions
- Myocardial Infarction (MI): Blockage of blood flow in the heart. Critical time for treatment: 60-90 minutes.
- Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI): Also known as a heart attack. Blood flow to the heart is stopped, causing heart muscle death.
- Congestive Heart Failure (CHF): The heart struggles to pump effectively, leading to fluid buildup in the lungs.
- Ischemia: Reduced blood flow to the heart, leading to oxygen deprivation in tissues.
- Angina: Chest pain caused by reduced blood flow to the heart.
- Atherosclerosis: Plaque buildup in arteries. This narrows blood vessels and reduces blood flow.
Cardiac Markers
- Primary Markers for AMI (Heart Injury): Troponins (T and I)
- Troponins (T and I): Released during heart muscle injury. The most specific marker for AMI.
- cTnT: Binds tropomyosin.
- Note: Normal values for cTnT are not provided.
