Used to assist in diagnosing heart failure
Is used to assess risk for cardiovascular and peripheral arterial disease
Major transport protein for cholesterol to the arteries from the liver
Is used to assess damage to skeletal or cardiac muscles from trauma or inflammation
To assess oxygenation and acid base balance
In a child or adolescents, the desirable result is "less than 170 mg/ID"
This procedure can be performed on a treadmill or stationary bike to assess cardiac function
