“One third of patients who experience heart attack die within 24 hours of the onset of ischemia, and many of the survivors experience significant morbidity(3)”. Early diagnosis of heart attack reduce the risk of death, especially in those who older the 50 years(1,2). Also, the men between 55-74 years are the most of having diagnosed heart attack or fatal coronary heart disease (CHD)(1). The appearance of cardiac markers in the circulation generally shows myocardial necrosis and is a helpful aide to diagnosis(3). Based on several assessment findings A healthcare provider can diagnose a heart attack based on several assessment findings(3). There are three tests to diagnose the heart attack the blood test, cardiac catheterization and echocardiography. These tests determine if a heart attack occurred and how much the heart was damaged(3).
The first test of diagnosis, the blood test. It is determined by serum levels of …show more content…
Cardiac catheterization is a method used to analyze and treat cardiovascular conditions(7). The catheterization laboratory, or “cath lab” is an area of the hospital the procedure performed in it(8). During cardiac catheterization, A doctor will insert a long and thin tube called catheters into blood vessels in the arm, leg or neck, and threaded The through your blood vessels to your heart(7,8). The flow and the amount of blood that the heart is pumping by the catheters, and they are used to measure pressure in diverse parts(8). The doctor is able to take pictures of the heart and circulation by using X-ray dye. The dye can show whether a plaque has blocked any of your arteries(8). Complete cardiac catheterization procedure takes between one to four hours; therefore, it can be a stressful and risky procedure, particularly in the young or very ill patient although greatly augmenting noninvasive clinical
