Cardiac enzymes - ANS-Released into the blood stream when the heart suffers from
ischemia
Lipid profile - ANS-Provides information regarding cholesterol levels and is used for
early detection of heart disease
Transthoracic echocardiogram - ANS-Used to diagnose valve disorders and
cardiomyopathy; evaluate the size, shape, and motion of the structure of the heart; and
measure the ejection fraction
Indications for transthoracic echocardiography - ANS-Cardiomyopathy, heart failure,
angina, MI
Indications for cardiac enzymes and lipid profile - ANS-Angina, MI, heart disease,
hyperlipidemia
transesophageal echocardiography - ANS-Provides clearer ultrasonic images, because
the waves pass through less tissue. A small transducer is passed through the mouth
and into the esophagus to provide images of the heart
Indications for transesophageal echocardiography - ANS-Heart failure, valvular heart
disease, atrial or ventricular thrombi, monitoring during valve replacement and coronary
artery bypass surgeries
Stress test - ANS-exercise tolerance test (ETT) determines the heart's response to
physical exertion (stress)
Indications for stress test - ANS-Angina, heart Failure, MI, dysrhythmia
hemodynamic monitoring - ANS-Involves special indwelling catheters to provide
information about blood volume and perfusion, fluid status, and how well the heart is
pumping
pituitary gland - ANS-The endocrine system's most influential gland. Under the influence
of the hypothalamus, this gland regulates growth and controls other endocrine glands.
Hypothalamus - ANS-A neural structure lying below the thalamus; it directs several
maintenance activities (eating, drinking, body temperature), helps govern the endocrine
system via the pituitary gland, and is linked to emotion and reward.
