Document Summary
List the symptoms and signs a patient with the following cardiac disorders may present with: acute coronary syndrome: angina, acute myocardial infarction. Includes unstable angina and myocardial infarction: a broad spectrum of clinical presentations, spanning st-segment elevation myocardial infarction, through to an elevated pattern of angina without myonecrosis, angina. Fasting lipid profile, fasting glucose, full blood count, cardiac enzymes (troponin i: troponin i is a protein released when there"s myocardial damage, chest x-ray, exercise stress test, coronary angiogram. Invasive diagnostic procedure, assesses for coronary artery blockages: via femoral artery, patient is awake during procedure, st elevation (stemi) myocardial infarction & non-st elevation (nstemi) myocardial. Infarction: nstemi & unstable angina, coronary artery partial occlusion, occlusion in the presence of collateral circulation, or distal coronary embolisation will result in unstable angina (uap) or nstemi, stemi, complete ischaemia causes myocardial necrosis (infarction, mi diagnosis. St segment elevation on 12 lead ecg (stemi) Serologic (enzyme) changes on blood test (stemi or nstemi)
