**Diagnosing Myocardial Infarction: Key Methods**Please select all the correct answers that help diagnose a myocardial infarction:- A) ✔️ Electrocardiogram- B) ✔️ Blood glucose level- C) ☐ Symptoms including chest pain, sweating, and sometimes nausea- D) ☐ Blood test measuring cardiac markers in the blood (Creatine kinase MB, troponins, etc.)**Explanation:**- **Electrocardiogram (ECG):** A test that records the electrical activity of the heart and helps detect abnormalities in heart function, crucial in diagnosing a myocardial infarction.- **Blood Glucose Level:** While not directly diagnostic of a myocardial infarction, monitoring glucose levels can be important for overall patient assessment.- **Symptoms:** While symptoms such as chest pain, sweating, and nausea are indicative of a myocardial infarction, they are subjective and need to be confirmed with objective tests.- **Cardiac Markers:** Tests that measure specific enzymes and proteins in the blood, like creatine kinase MB and troponins, can confirm a myocardial infarction. These were not selected here but are commonly used in practice.
