Heart Attack Diagnosis
heart attack diagnosis and EKG
This test detects and records the electrical activity of the heart. Certain changes in the appearance of the electrical waves on an EKG (Electrocardiogram) are strong evidence of a heart attack. An EKG also can show if you’re having arrhythmias (abnormal heartbeats), which a heart attack (and other conditions) can cause.
heart attack diagnosis using Blood Tests
During a heart attack, heart muscle cells die and burst open, letting certain proteins out in the bloodstream. Blood tests can measure the amount of these proteins in the bloodstream. Higher than normal levels of these proteins in the bloodstream is evidence of a heart attack.
Commonly used blood tests include troponin tests, CK or CK–MB tests, and serum myoglobin tests. Blood tests are often repeated to check for changes over time.
heart attack diagnosis and Coronary Angiography
Coronary angiography is a special x-ray exam of the heart and blood vessels. It´s often done during a heart attack to help pinpoint blockages in the coronary arteries.
If a blockage is found, another procedure, called angioplasty, may be used to restore blood flow through the artery. Sometimes during angioplasty, the doctor will place a stent (a small mesh tube) in the artery to help keep the artery open.
