What Is A Cardiac Enzyme Test And How Its Done?
A cardiac enzyme test, also known as a cardiac biomarkers test, is a blood test onducted as part of our laboratory services. It measures the levels of specific enzymes or proteins in the blood that are released into the bloodstream when there is damage to the heart muscle. These enzymes and proteins are crucial indicators used by healthcare professionals to diagnose and monitor heart conditions, particularly heart attacks.
How Cardiac Enzymes Test Are Perfromed
Cardiac enzyme tests, a crucial part of our laboratory services, begin with obtaining a blood sample from a vein in the arm.
- The healthcare provider will clean the skin over the vein with an antiseptic solution.
- A tourniquet may be applied to the upper arm.
- A needle attached to a syringe or vacuum tube will be inserted into the vein to draw the blood sample.
- Once an adequate amount of blood has been collected, the needle will be removed, and pressure will be applied to the puncture site to stop any bleeding.
- The blood sample will then be sent to a laboratory for analysis.
Results of cardiac enzyme tests are typically available within a few hours to a day, depending on the laboratory’s turnaround time. But at COPPELL ER we get results instantly without waiting for hours and days. Elevated levels of cardiac enzymes may indicate a heart attack or other heart-related conditions, and further diagnostic tests and treatment may be recommended based on the results.
