Heart muscle antibody (HMA) is an antibody that can appear in the blood serum in various cardiac muscle injuries, as well as after infections. The procedure Material needed Blood serum Preparation of the patient Not known Disruptive factors None known Normal value Normal value Negative Indications Suspected myocardial damage Interpretation Interpretation of increased values Myocardial … Heart Muscle Antibody (HMA)
Hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase (HBDH) is an enzyme that can be present in elevated levels in blood serum in various diseases. HBDH is composed of the two enzymes LDH1 and LDH2. It is found in the heart muscle as well as in the kidneys and erythrocytes (red blood cells). Lactate dehydrogenase is mainly used in heart attack … Hydroxybutyrate Dehydrogenase (HBDH)
Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) is an enzyme that can be present in elevated levels in blood serum in various diseases. Five different LDH isozymes can be distinguished, each consisting of the H and M subunits. Lactate dehydrogenase is used primarily in the diagnosis of myocardial infarction. An increase in LDH can be expected after 6 to … Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH)
Myoglobin is a protein (albumin) found in skeletal and cardiac muscles – striated muscles. Thus, damage to the musculature can be determined by the level of myoglobin in blood serum or urine. Myoglobin is used primarily in heart attack diagnostics. An increase in myoglobin can be expected after 2-6 hours after the onset of infarction.The … Myoglobin
NT-proBNP (N-terminal pro-BNP; N-terminal pro brain natriuretic peptide) and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP; B-natriuretic peptide, B-type natriuretic peptide) are cardiac peptide hormones produced in the heart when a precursor (pro BNP) is cleaved. NT-pro BNP is formed in the left ventricle and BNP is formed mainly in the atria (less formation in the ventricles). In … NT-proBNP
Troponin T (TnT), is a protein (protein) found in muscles. The following subunits can be distinguished: Inhibitory – I Tropomyosin binding – T Calcium binding – C Subforms I and T can also be detected in myocardial (heart muscle) troponin forms in myocardial infarction (heart attack). Cardiac troponin I (cTnI) represents a subunit of the … Troponin T
Creatine kinase (CK; synonyms: creatine kinase; creatine phosphokinase (CPK); creatine phosphokinase (KPK), adenosine 5′-triphosphate-creatinine-phosphotransferase) is an enzyme that is formed in two subunits of type M or B. Thus, the following isoenzymes can be detected in the blood. CK-BB – occurs mainly in the brain or in advanced diseases. CK-MB – occurs mainly in the … Creatine Kinase
