Cardiac enzyme/marker interpretation (troponin, CK-MB, BNP) Troponin: Troponin is a protein in heart muscle cells that regulates muscular contraction. When the heart muscle is damaged, as in a heart attack, troponin is released into the bloodstream. Troponin levels can become elevated 3-4 hours after a heart attack and can remain elevated for up to 14 days. Therefore, it is a highly specific indicator of heart damage. CK-MB (Creatine Kinase-MB): CK-MB is a form of creatine kinase found mostl...

Cardiac Output (CO) : - Amount of blood pumped through the heart each minute - Normal 4-8 L/min (varies significantly depending on body size) - Determined by stroke volume and heart rate; CO= SV x HR - Cardiac Index is the cardiac output corrected for body size and more specific than CO; use this in obese pts (CI= CO/BSA; Normal 2.4-4 L/min) - Obtained through a pulmonary artery catheter Nursing Assessment of Cardiac Function : Increased Preload= increased volume-blood backs up (right h...
