Epinephrine and myocardial infarction

Common Questions and Answers about Epinephrine and myocardial infarction

epipen

Avatar m tn It can also be used as a marker of myocardial infarction. Following a myocardial infarction, levels of LDH peak at 3-4 days and remain elevated for up to 10 days. In this way, elevated levels of LDH (where the level of LDH2 is higher than that of LDH1) can be useful for determining if a patient has had a myocardial infarction if they come to doctors several days after an episode of chest pain. Check it with your Cartdiologist for the reason of increase in LDH.
Avatar m tn A patient with coronary artery disease suddenly engaging in the physical exercise associated with sexual intercourse, has an increased risk of myocardial infarction or death. Sexual intercourse is estimated to increase the risk of myocardial infarction by a factor of 2, which is still only a very small risk.
Avatar m tn The cardiac troponins T and I which are released within 4–6 hours of an attack of MI and remain elevated for up to 2 weeks, have nearly complete tissue specificity and are now the preferred markers for asssessing myocardial damage. Heart-type fatty acid binding protein is another marker, used in some home test kits. Elevated troponins in the setting of chest pain may accurately predict a high likelihood of a myocardial infarction in the near future.
Avatar m tn Thus, CK-MB is a very good marker for acute myocardial injury, because of its excellent specificity, and it rises in serum within 2 to 8 hours of onset of acute myocardial infarction. Serial measurements every 2 to 4 hours for a period of 9 to 12 hours after the patient is first seen will provide a pattern to determine whether the CK-MB is rising, indicative of myocardial injury.

Avatar n tn Thank you for this response. I am not interested for myself, it's that my mum died very suddenly and unexpectedly a few weeks ago and the autopsy said it was a bowel infarction. Given that we all thought she was well and didn't have any health issues, I wondered if her habit of taking aspirin each day had anything to do with what happened. Regards.
Avatar f tn Was the CT scan able to rule out the myocardial bridging is not associated with myocardial infarction (heart attack) it is factor on rare occasions. The mechanism by which this occurs is unclear; vessel occlusion in this setting may be due to superimposed thrombosis (clots) or vasospasm. Endothelial (lining of vessel) injury as a result of myocardial bridging may predispose to thrombus formation.
Avatar m tn I did an ECG and the conclusion writen is ANTEROSEPTAL INFARCTION, what does this mean ..how did I get there and whats the solution out of it. I live in Nigeria and I really need help on the way to go about this.
503418 tn?1231098736 sweats, nausea, and shortness of breath. Angina occurs when myocardium becomes ischemic — not enough blood comes through narrowed coronary arteries to meet myocardial needs. This can happen when there is increased demand for oxygen such as during exercise, or decreased supply such as hypotension or anemia. Variant angina occurs due to coronary artery spasm alone. Anginal pain is not typically affected by respiration or by position, although most patients with angina prefer to sit up.
Avatar n tn PR INTERVAL SHORT and HIGH LATERAL MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION. What does all this mean? I'm I in trouble?
Avatar f tn If you have infarct, it means there is poor blood flow to heart during both rest and stress, probably due to old myocardial infarction (heart attack) resulting in scarred/damaged tissue. Your rep0rt says you have this.
Avatar n tn Q waves have been recorded with severe metabolic disturbances accompanying shock or pancreatitis, transient ischemia and hypoxia, coronary spasm, localized metabolic and electrolyte disturbances, and possible hypothermia. Rarely a transient Q wave may result from tachycardia.
Avatar f tn What is the difference between Ischemic stroke and myocardial infarction? I have PR 232 ms. What does it signify?
Avatar f tn Well, it would be unlikely given your age and what sounds to be good health that you are having symptoms of a Myocardial infarction but we can't say that for sure. So, you probably need to go ahead and get checked out. Are you under a lot of stress right now?
Avatar f tn Abnormal sinus rhythm can be a be heart rate over 100 at the time of the test and not considered a problem without further clinical evidence.. Poor r wave progression-probable normal variant lateral st-t changes suggest myocardial injury/ischemia. This particular pattern is usually reported out as "cannot rule out anterior myocardial infarction." The placement of the leads (electrodes) is critical in obtaining a reliable ECG pattern.
Avatar n tn The appearance of the ST segment changes dramatically in the presence of ischemia or during a myocardial infarction. During ischemia, the ST segment will become depressed and have a long duration and a large amplitude before it joins the T wave. The ST segment is elevated during an acute myocardial infarction. The ST segment is, therefore, a diagnostic segment of the EKG strip that is very important in the diagnoses of heart problems.
Avatar m tn is covid19 responsible for myocardial infarction ?
Avatar m tn what are indications for the use of heparin in heart disease
Avatar f tn I had a myocardial infarction 10 years ago and i had a an open heart surgery since then and now i am experiencing symptoms of stable angina and my angiogram is completely clear and the bypass is 100% success and all the tests are negative, can a thallium stress test be useful or it will not be conclusive because of the former heart attack
