Jack comes to the doctor’s office where you work first thingFriday morning, after spending Sunday night through Thursday nighton a deer hunting trip. He explains that while hunting for deerearly Monday morning he experienced nausea, sweating, shortness ofbreath and some tightness in his chest. Jack did not come to thedoctor earlier because he was so far back in the woods, and he didnot want to ruin the trip for his friends. The doctor orders a12-lead ECG and cardiac enzymes. The ECG looks fairly normal withregular sinus rhythm and occasional, nonspecific ST-T wave changes.Jack’s cardiac enzymes show normal values for creatine kinase andCK-MB. His lactate dehydrogenase values are elevated and his LDH-1values are greater than his LDH-2 values. Do you think that Jackmay have had a myocardial infarction? Why or why not?
