isoenzyme values reported with the creatine kinase level? Options: 1 . MM 2 . MB 3 . BB 4 . MK Answer: 2 . Rationale: Creatine kinase (CK) is a cellular enzyme that can be fractionated into three isoenzymes. The MB band reflects CK from cardiac muscle. This is the level that elevates with myocardial infarction. The MM band reflects CK from skeletal muscle. The BB band reflects CK from the brain. There is no MK band. Question: A client is suspected of having a myocardial infarction. The

In this experiment‚ several physiological parameters were observed in three patients before‚ during‚ and after moderate exercise. One of these parameters was the pulmonary airflow‚ which was recorded utilizing an Airflow Transducer. This device measures airflow using slight pressure differences created by the resistance of a screen inside the device. Pulmonary airflow is the rate of movement into and out of the lungs‚ and is directly proportional to the pressure difference of the intrapulmonary pressure

Cardiac output is the amount of blood the heart pumps out the rest of the body per minute. Though the amount may change due to the demands placed on the body‚ resting cardiac output is 5 L/min. Cardiac output is determined by the product of stroke volume‚ quantity of blood ejected from the ventricles at each contraction‚ and heart rate.4 Heart failure occurs due to any disease or condition that does not allow the heart to maintain the proper cardiac output to match the body’s

Cardiomyopathy Around the world‚ there are many people that suffer from cardiomyopathy. The word cardiomyopathy literally means "heart muscle disease." Cardiomyopathy is a serious disease in which the heart muscle becomes inflamed and doesn’t work as well as it should. Cardiomyopathy can generally be categorized into two groups; extrinsic cardiomyopathies and intrinsic cardiomyopathies. The most common cardiomyopathies are extrinsic.
