9. In cardiac function Blood cells have crucial role
Blood used as transport medium for oxygen, glucose,
electrolytes, plasma proteins, hormones, and medications.
And also a vesicle for removal of waste products
Changes in blood cell integrity and total cell count may
reflect specific disorders of the cardiac system.

10. Is a commonly used laboratory test to support the diagnosis of
several diseases.
The values of hematological parameters are varies by a number
of factors even in apparently healthy individuals. These include
age, sex, nutritional, environmental and social factors with
cultural backgrounds.
Some hematological parameters show extensive variation in
different period of life.

11. Used to evaluate your overall health
Detect a wide range of disorders, including anemia,
infection and leukemia.
Blood consists of three types of cells suspended in
fluid called plasma:
white blood cells (WBCs)
Red blood cells (RBCs), and
platelets (PLTs).
2/7/2023
By Zewude M 11
12. They are produced and mature primarily in the bone
marrow and, under normal circumstances, are
released into the bloodstream.
2/7/2023
By Zewude M 12
13. Constituents of Red cell count
1) Red blood cell count (RBC)
It's also known as an erythrocyte count.
Is used to find out how many red blood cells (RBCs)
present in a patient's sample blood.
Reference range:
Men: 4.5-5.9 x 106/microliter,
Women: 4.1-5.1 x 106/microliter
2/7/2023
By Zewude M 13
14. Causes of low result in red blood cell count
Anemia.
Acute or chronic bleeding
RBC destruction (e.g., hemolytic anemia,etc.)
Nutritional deficiency (e.g., iron deficiency,vitamin
Bl2 or folate deficiency)
Chronic inflammatory disease
Bone marrow disorders or damage
2/7/2023

16. 2. HAEMOGLOBIN
Hb is the protein which carries oxygen in the blood.
REFERENCE RANGE:
Men: 14-17.5 g/dL
Women: 12.3-15.3 g/dL
3. HEMATOCRIT (HCT).
Also known as Packed Cell Volume (PCV); Volume percentage of red
blood cells in the blood.
REFERENCE RANGE:
2/7/2023
By Zewude M 16
Men:41.5 %-50.4% Women: 35.9-44.6%
17. 4. RBC INDICES.
Are blood tests that provide information about the
hemoglobin content and size of red blood cells
They are used to help diagnose the cause of anemia, a
condition in which there are too few red blood cells and
other disorders of RBC.
These are:
i. Mean corpuscular/cell volume (MCV),
ii .Mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH),
Iii.Mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC),
2/7/2023
By Zewude M 17
18. Also called leukocytes, that the body uses to maintain a healthy
state and to fight infections or other causes of injury
There are five different types of WBCs,
These are :
Neutrophils
Lymphocytes
Basophils,
Eosinophils and
monocytes
2/7/2023
By Zewude M 18
19. They are present in the blood at relatively stable numbers.
These numbers may temporarily shift higher or lower
depending on what is going on in the body.
WHITE BLOOD CELL DIFFERENTIALS
1.NEUTROPHIL COUNT
Neutrophils are a type of white blood cell (WBC or
granulocyte) that protect a body against infections,
Are the first cells to arrive on the scene when we experience
a bacterial infection.
2/7/2023
By Zewude M 19
20. If neutrophils are below and above normal values it is Known
as leukopenia and leukocytosis respectively.
Example if the pt has sign and syptom of cardiac problem and
neutrophils is raised we suspect endocarditis .
2.LYMPHOCYTE COUNT
Lymphocytes are type of white blood cell (leukocyte) that is of
fundamental importance in the immune system,
They are made in the bone marrow and found in the blood and
lymph tissue.
2/7/2023
By Zewude M 20
21. They are the main type of cell found in lymph, which
prompted the name "lymphocyte".
Lymphocytes help your immune system remember every antigen
it comes in contact with.
Are the first cells to arrive on the scene when we experience
a viral infection
If lymphocyte are below and above normal values it is Known
as lymphocytopenia and lymphocytosis respectively.
Example if the pt has myocarditis there may be lymphocytosis
2/7/2023
By Zewude M 21
22. 3.MONOCYTE COUNT
Monocytes are the largest type of leukocyte and can differentiate
into macrophages and myeloid lineage dendritic cells.
monocytes are important in the immune system's ability to destroy
invaders, but also in facilitating healing and repair.
Examples of Causes of high count
chronic infections like:a
fungal infections
tuberclosis
Infection within the heart (bacterial endocarditis)
2/7/2023
By Zewude M 22
23. 4.EOSINOPHIL COUNT
Most often indicates a parasitic infection, an allergic reaction
or cancer
5.BASOPHIL COUNT
are involved in immediate hypersensitivity reactions as well as
chronic inflammatory or immunologic responses.
2/7/2023
By Zewude M 23
24. Platelets, also called thrombocytes, are special cell fragments
that play an important role in normal blood clotting.
A person who does not have enough platelets may be at an
increased risk of excessive bleeding and bruising
REFERENCE RANGE:
SI Units :150-450 x 109/L

By Zewude M 24
27. Cardiac enzymes also know as cardiac biomarker.
Are those found in cardiac tissue release into the bloodstream
when the heart is damaged or stressed.
These tests are most useful in diagnosing myocardial infarction
(heart attacks)
The markers are normally present at all time, however, they are
significantly elevated during a damage of the heart muscle.
2/7/2023
By Zewude M 27
30. Used for diagnosing cardiac disease along other tests.
Use this four enzyme diagnosis:-
Cardiac Troponin I& T
Creatine Kinase
Myoglobin
Lactate dehydrogenase(LDH)
2/7/2023
By Zewude M 30
31. Also known as creatine phosphokinase (CPK) or phosphocreatine
kinase.
A test to know the concentration of CPK in the serum.
The level of total CK in plasma usually becomes abnormal 6 to 8
hours after onset of MI and peaks in 24 - 28 hours.
But because levels of CK can go up in many other conditions
besides a heart attack, it is not very specific.
2/7/2023
By Zewude M 31
32. Found in cells of heart , skeletal muscles and brain.
Three creatine kinase (CK) isoenzymes
CK-MM: skeletal muscle-specific isoenzyme
CK-MB: heart muscle-specific isoenzyme
CK-BB: brain tissue-specific isoenzyme
Normal range
55-170units /L for men
30-135 units/L for women
2/7/2023
By Zewude M 32
33. CK-MB rises 4 to 6 hours after a heart attack, but generally back
to normal within a day or two.
Increases only when there has been damage to cardiac cells: acute
MI, Myocarditis, CHF,
Recurrent elevation suggests re-infarction or extension of ischemic
damage
Elevation diminishes as the disease progresses and muscle mass
decreases
2/7/2023
By Zewude M 33
34. There is LDH1 and LDH2, normally LDH2 is greater than LDH1
Found in: heart, liver, skeletal muscle, kidney, lung, fat and red
blood cells. Due to that no longer considered a specific test for MI.
LDH is used to help diagnose:
Myocarditis,
Liver and renal dysfunction,
Skeletal muscle disorders or trauma
2/7/2023
By Zewude M 34
35. May be abnormally elevated in various conditions,
including:
Hemolytic anemia;
Pulmonary infarction;
Renal infarction;
Hepatic disorders (hepatitis and hepatic congestion);
Skeletal muscle disorders.
Normal ratios are:-LDH-1:- 17%-27%
:-LDH-2:- 27%-37%
2/7/2023
By Zewude M 35
36. Is muscle protein with high sensitivity but low specificity(also
elevated during other muscle injury) detection of ischemic
muscle damage.
Appears in the serum earlier than CK (in 1 to 3 hours) after
onset of symptoms, usually peaks in 2 to 4 hours.
Normal value:-(17.4-105.7ng/ml)
2/7/2023
By Zewude M 36
37. Regulates the myocardial contractile process
Highly specific for cardiac muscle
Detectable as cardiac troponin I & troponin T .
Troponin I
found only in cardiac muscle
Rising in the blood 4-6 hours post infraction
Peaks in 12-24 hours
Come to baseline within 10-14 days
Range Norman individual: <0.001ng/ml.
Therefore it has good utility for retrospectively diagnsing AMI
2/7/2023
By Zewude M 37
38. Troponin T
Found in cardiac and skeletal muscle,
Also elevated during kidney and skeletal damage
Highly sensitive to detect minor myocardial injury
2/7/2023
By Zewude M 38
40. It demonstrates the ability of the myocardium to respond to increased
oxygen demand by increasing blood flow to the coronary arteries.
We get information about the pumping function of the heart and
specifically about the vessels which supply the blood flow to the
heart, whether or not there are significant blockages
Stress testing can be life-threatening with potential occurrence of MI,
cardiac arrest, HF, and severe dysrhythmias thus, testing facilities
must have staff and equipment ready to provide treatment, including
advanced cardiac life support.

By Zewude M 42
43. Can be:
1. Mental or emotional stress test
2. Pharmacologic stress test
3. Exercise stress test
Mental or emotional stress test
Patient exposed to an emotional stressor (The death of a loved
one, dismissal from work) using a standardized mental stress
test,
Then, heart pictures examined whether reduced blood flow
(ischemia) occurred during mental stress.

red blood cell count that's higher than normal (erythrocytosis), or high hemoglobin or hematocrit levels, could point to an underlying medical condition,
such as polycythemia Vera or heart disease
Mean corpuscular volume (MCV), which measures the average size of your red blood cells
Mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), which measures the average amount of hemoglobin in a single red blood cell. Hemoglobin is a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen.
Mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC), which also measures hemoglobin in red blood cells. In addition, it includes a calculation of the size and volume of your red blood cells.
Red cell distribution width (RDW), which measures differences in the volume and size of your red blood cells.
Therfore CK estimation is very useful to detect early cases.
Ck level is not raised in hemolysis or in congestive heart faliure; and therefore CK has an advantage over LDH.
CK levels are changed in disorder of cardiac and skeletal muscle.
Mainly useful in detecting damage to myocardial and skeletal muscle tissue.
Is used in combination with imaging modalities such as echocardiography.
General indication
Elderly patients with decreased functional capacity and possible CAD
patient with chronic debilatation and possible CAD
Younger patients with functional impairment due to injury, arthritis, orthopedic problems, peripheral neuropathy, myopathies, or peripheral vascular disease, in which a maximal heart rate is not easily achieved with routine exercise stress testing, usually because of an early onset of fatigue due to musculoskeletal, neurologic, or vascular problems rather than cardiac ischemia.
Beta blockers slow the heart rate, which can prevent the increase in heart rate that typically occurs with exercise.
One side effect of the treadmill test for some individuals is nausea, a problem that would only be exacerbated by having food in your stomach
If you smoke, you get less oxygen in your heart, lungs and muscles. This reduces your physical fitness
