Quick question.
When You have a pt come in as code 66 (CVA) is it standard to get cardiac enzymes on all these pts. or do you only do it for pts. with co-morbidities (HTN, CAD, DM, etc.), or do you just get a set to appease the service the pt will be admitted to (Neurology, Medicine, ICU)? Whats you reasoning for doing or not doing the tests? (Just interested)
Thanks in advance yo
