PATH: Cardiac Marker
basics
Question | Answer |
---|---|
why was LDH isoenzyme 1 used? | it was around at day 7 unlike CK and could be measured |
how long do troponin I and T stick around | they stay around for just as long if not longer than LDH |
creatine kinase is composed of? | M and B subunits |
what CK is in the brain | CK-BB |
CK in the Heart | CK-MB and CK-MM |
CK in the skeletal muscle | CK-MM |
CK in tumors | CK-BB |
CK in smooth muscle | CK-BB |
how can you tell if there is muscular dystrophy | CK-MB and MM elevated |
Trauma would affect CK ? | MB (less than 1-2% total) and MM elevated |
what effect on CK would hypothyroid have | increased MM |
what affect on CK would stroke have | increased MM |
What effect on CK would psychosis have | increased MM |
how is cardiac muscle distributed with regards to CK | 80% MB 20% MM |
when you have an MI what percent of total CK is CKMB | more than 3% |
Labor in the uterus would produce what effect on CK | elevated BB |
intestinal trauma would produce what CK | elevated BB |
Shock would increase CK ? | elevated BB and MB |
when would CK MB not be elevated | most cardiac conditions, pulmonary emboli, intramuscular injection |
how long after an MI is CK-MB elevated | 2-8 hours after MI Peaks at 36 hours and is normal 2-3 days after that |
what are troponins | 3 regulatory proteins bound to contractile apparatuses of striated muscle |
what troponins are cardiac markers | TnI and TnT |
what troponin is also made in the heart but is not specific | TnC |
where else is TnC found | in skeletal muscle (slow twitch) |
what other conditions could make CK-MB less specific | renal failure, skeletal trauma or disease |
how does the timing of troponins compare with CK and LDH | same speed as CK and same durations as LDH-1 |
how does troponin last so long | continuous release not delayed clearance |
how high in magnitude does Troponin elevate compared to CK | same magnitude but much greater fold increase as troponin unlike CK does not have other factors elevating its baseline |
how likely is somone with incresaed troponin but no increase in EKG or CKMB to have an immenint event | high liklihood |
how specific are TnI and TnT for MI | not at all only specific for myocardial damage you need a history |
what are the three kinds of natriuretic peptide | A, B, C |
how do natriuretic peptides change with chronic heart failure | increase |
where are natriuretic peptides synthesized | in the atria and ventricles |
ANP is released from the ? | atria when there is distension |
BNP is relesed from the? | brain and ventricles when there is ventricular overload |
CNP is released from? | brain and CNS when there is endothelial stress |
Which natriuretic peptide corresponds with other tests diagnosing the severity of a heart conditino | BNP |
what is BNP used for | to monitor CHF therapy, diagnose heart failure, and determine prognosis with acute coronary symptoms |
