K.R. was treated with 2 L nasal oxygen‚ tissue plasminogen activator‚ sublingual nitroglycerin‚ and IV morphine sulfate. When he was pain free‚ he was transferred to the cardiac unit for monitoring. Discussion Questions 1. What changes in “cardiac enzymes” would be consistent with a diagnosis of MI? Troponins(I and T specific to cardiac muscle cells)‚ elevated

Discuss the role of endogenous pacemakers and exogenous zeitgebers in biological rhythms A rhythm is something that is regularly repeated e.g. eating several times a day. These rhythms are repeated over different intervals and they are governed by both internal (endogenous) and external (exogenous) factors. An endogenous pacemaker is something internal that sets the rhythm‚ and an exogenous zeitgeber is something external that affects / sets the rhythm e.g. light. A biological rhythm that

Global Cardiac Biomarkers Market 2014-20180280035A cardiac biomarker is defined as a measurable substance that is used as an indicator for diagnosis and risk stratification related to CVDs such as ACS‚ coronary syndromes‚ MI‚ and HF. Some of the cardiac biomarkers are CK-MB‚ troponins (cTnI and cTnT)‚ BNP‚ NT-proBNP‚ GFAP‚ H-FABP‚ LDH isoenzymes‚ D-Dimer‚ IMA‚ MPO‚ myoglobin‚ and sCD40L. Cardiac biomarker assays help medical professionals in understanding and differentiating between MI and angina

This paper examines some of the ethical dilemmas posed to the medical community by the practice of organ donation after cardiac death (DCD) and whether it violates any of the basic ethical principles of medicine. Cardiac death can only be declared on the basis of cardiopulmonary criteria of permanent cessation of circulatory and respiratory function and not on the basis of neurological criteria of irreversible loss of all functions of the entire brain‚ which is used to declare brain death. In the
