The patient said he had been outside playing basketball with his two sons when he felt “funny.†Elaborating, the patient said he became light-headed and short of breath. He also mentioned that he became nauseated and felt pressure in his chest. His sons panicked and called 911 for help. Various tests are performed to determine whether the man had a heart attack. One way to find out for sure is a blood test that looks for certain enzymes that are released when a myocardial infarction has occurred. BLANK is one of those enzymes.
