What Cardiac Markers Can Tell Us in the ED
Host: Shira Johnson, MD
Guest: Joseph R. Lex, MD
What can we learn from cardiac markers such as troponin and troponin 1 in the emergency department and how will this dictate the decisions we make in caring for our patients? Dr. Joseph Lex, associate professor of medicine in the department of emergency medicine at Temple University School of Medicine in Philadelphia, joins host Dr. Shira Johnson to tell us what cardiac markers do and do not tell us. Is there a marker indicating unstable angina? What can we learn from delta cardiac markers, destabilization, and plaque rupture? And what information is most important in supporting an ED doc's clinical decision?
