Heart Attack Tests
Patients being evaluated for a blocked-vessel stroke may have blood tests to check for heart muscle damage. A stroke can produce changes on an electrocardiogram (ECG) that are similar to those caused by a heart attack, and some stroke patients also have heart attack symptoms. Tests to find out if heart problems contributed to your stroke may include:
- CK and CKMB
- Myoglobin
- Troponin
