Ch. 11 Anatomy Laboratory/clinical Procedure

Front 1

BNP TEST

Back 1

Measurement of BNP (brain natriuretic peptide) in blood

Front 2

Cardiac biomarkers

Back 2

Chemical are measured in the blood as evidence of a heart attack

Front 3

Lipid tests ( lipid profile)

Back 3

Measurement of cholesterol and triglycerides (fat) in a blood sample

Front 4

Lipoproteins electrophoresis

Back 4

Lipoproteins ( combination of fat and protein) are physically separated and measured in a blood sample

Front 5

Angiography

Back 5

X- ray imaging of blood vessels after injection of contrast material

Front 6

Computed tomography angiography (CTA)

Back 6

Three-dimensional xray images of the heart and coronary arteries using computed tomography (64-slice CT scanner)

Front 7

Digital subtraction angiography (DSA)

Back 7

Video equipment and a computer produce xray images of blood vessels

Front 8

Electron beam computed tomography (EBCT or EBT)

Back 8

Electron beams and CT identify calcium deposits in and around coronary arteries to diagnose early CAD

Front 9

Doppler ultrasound studies

Back 9

Sound waves measure blood flow within blood vessels

Front 10

Echocardiography (ECHO)

Back 10

Echoes generated by high- frequency sound waves produce images of the heart

Front 11

Positron emission tomography (PET) scan

Back 11

Images show blood flow and myocardial function following uptake of radioactive glucose

Front 12

Technetium Tc 99m sestamibi scan

Back 12

Technetium Tc 99m sestamibi injected intravenously is taken up in tissue, where it is detected by scanning

Front 13

Thallium 201 scan

Back 13

Contraction of radioactive thallium is measured to give information about blood supply to the heart muscle

Front 14

Cardiac MRI

Back 14

Images of the heart are produced using radio wave energy in a magnetic field

Front 15

Cardiac catheterization

Back 15

Thin, flexible tube is guided into the heart via a vein or an artery

Front 16

Electrocardiography (ECG)

Back 16

Recording of electricity flowing through the heart

Front 17

Holter monitoring

Back 17

An ECG device is worn during a 24 -hour period to detect cardiac arrhythmias

Front 18

Stress test

Back 18

Exercise tolerance test (ETT) determine the heart's response to physical exertion (stress)

Front 19

Catheter ablation

Back 19

Brief delivery of radiofrequency energy to destroy areas of heat tissue that may be causing arrhythmias

Front 20

Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG)

Back 20

Arteries and veins are anastomosed to coronary arteries to detour around blockages

Front 21

Defibrillation

Back 21

Brief discharge of electricity age applied across the chest to stop dysrhythmias (ventricular fibrillation)

Front 22

Endarterectomy

Back 22

Surgical removal of plaque from the inner layer of an artery

Front 23

Extracorporeal circulation

Back 23

Heat- lung machine diverts blood from the heart and lungs while the heart is repaired

Front 24

Hear Transplantation

Back 24

Donor heart is transferred to a recipient

Front 25

Percutaneous coronary intervention

Back 25

Balloon- tipped catheter is inserted into a coronary artery to open the artery; stents are put in place
