Q

how do we draw Tropinin and Ck? why?

A

we draw serial, every 4-6 hours

it takes a long time to elevate and just because it isn’t elevated one time doesn’t mean that it is not cardiac related

34
Q

questions to ask for onset

A

when did your symptoms start
what were you doing when it began

35
Q

questions to ask for provocation/palliative/precipitating

A

did anything bring on the pain
does anything make it better or worse

36
Q

questions to ask for quality

how would you describe it

37
Q

questions for region/radiation/referal

diabetes/ or sugar control

41
Q

stable anina

A

predicatable
typically exercised induced
relieved with nitro

42
Q

unstable angina

A

change in previously established stable pattern of angina
more intense
