Harjeet Singh: If these negotiations do not help countries to deal with the real impacts of climate change, and only prioritize emission targets, they will have failed the very people this agreement is meant to protect.
Blood tests. When your heart muscle has been damaged, as in a heart attack, your body releases substances in your blood. Blood tests can measure the levels of these substances and show if, and how much of, your heart has been damaged. The most common test after a heart attack checks levels of troponin in your blood.
As part of some stress tests, pictures are taken of your heart while you exercise and while youâre at rest. These imaging stress tests can show how well blood is flowing in your heart and how well your heart pumps blood when it beats. One type of imaging stress test involves echocardiography (echo). This test uses sound waves to create a moving picture of your heart. An exercise stress echo can show how well your heart's chambers and valves are working when your heart is under stress. A stress echo also can show areas of poor blood flow to your heart, dead heart muscle tissue, and areas of the heart muscle wall that aren't contracting well.
