Are Back And Chest Pain In A Diabetes Patient A Serious Concern?

Ecg is having borderline changes, needs further tests
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have gone through both the ecgs. There is borderline st segment elevation in inferior leads and also in V6. There is a possibility of inferior wall myocardial infarction, form of heart attack. Since ecg is not clear cut showing changes of heart attack, he ll need further tests like CKMB, troponin test urgently. Also, echo will show changes of heart attack, so should be done as soon as possible. He being diabetic, may not get severe pain.
So overall, there are borderline changes raising a possibility of heart attack so get the tests I mentioned for confirmation, and if there are any changes on above tests then needs angiography.
Hope this helps you and get back if you have any doubts.


Thanks much for your prompt response. I will surely get the CK MB, Troponin, and Echo tests done, at the earliest.
Could you please advise which one of the CK MB and TROPONIN tests, should I go for?
1) CPK-MB
2) CPK-MB MASS
3) CPK; CREATINE KINASE
4) CPK ISOENZYME ELECTROPHORESIS
1) TROPONIN - T HIGH SENSITIVE
2) TROPONIN - I HIGH SENSITIVE (hsTnI)
Regards
Cpk MB and troponin T or I
Detailed Answer:
1. CPK MB and troponin either of two is fine troponin T or I whichever is available. All the best.
