THE NEGLECTED PEARL FOR ADAM
CHAPTER 58. REQUESTING AN INTENSIVE EXAMINATION

"How's Papa doing, Ma?" ask the Sultan who just arrived at the hospital.

"Not knowing Tan, just the nurse and the doctor brought Papa into the room, we were told to wait here" said Sultan.

"Sister, that's the doctor coming out of Papa's room" Muti said.

The Sultan immediately approached the doctor to ask the situation of the Papa. The doctor also asked the Sultan to go to his room because there will be explained.

"Please sit on the Deck" said Mr. Doctor.

"How is Papa I Doc?"

"We have to do an examination first of Mr. Hendrawan Dek. Initial analysis, Papa you have a heart attack and we will conduct an intensive examination to make the results more accurate."

Then the Doctor said again, "There are a variety of test options, for a heart health check Deck,

Blood test

When having a heart attack, the heart muscle may be damaged, so the body releases substances into the blood.

Blood tests can measure the damage done to the heart muscle through substances that have mixed with blood in the patient's body.

Blood tests for the heart can also help measure the levels of various other substances in the blood, including fatty substances in the blood such as cholesterol and triglycerides, as well as vitamins and minerals.

Angiography

This one heart check is usually done by inserting a small tube (catheter) into the artery and directed at the coronary artery located near the heart. A special dye is then inserted through the catheter into the bloodstream.

The special dye will make it easier for X-rays to take pictures of the heart and coronary arteries. The goal is to see if there is a blockage in the coronary arteries and determine whether the heart can still pump blood properly.

Electrocardiogram (ECG)

A heart check using an ECG is performed to read the electrical impulses of the heart, so that we can find out the patient's heart rate.

The cable attached with a small round white sensor device will be attached to several parts on the patient's chest. These cables connect the sensor to an ECG machine that records the heart's electrical impulses and prints them on paper.

Heart check with this tool is done to diagnose heart attack disease or arrhythmia, which is when the heart rhythm is abnormal.

Echocardiogram

An echocardiogram is a heart check that is used quite often. This device can show images of the heart using ultrasound. This tool uses a scanner that will be moved by a doctor around the chest or under the esophagus or throat.

By using this tool, we can know if there are problems in the valves or chambers of the heart, as well as check the strength of the heart in pumping blood.

Tilt test

This test is usually done to check if there is a certain body position that will trigger the occurrence of arrhythmia. By performing a heart check using this method, we were able to determine whether patients were likely to experience a drastic drop in blood pressure while standing.

Usually, this test is effective to check the condition of heart health in patients who have fainted for no apparent reason.

MRI

According to the Heart Foundation, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can also be done to check the condition of the heart.

It uses magnetic waves and radio waves to produce detailed and clear images of the heart. In fact, this tool can produce still or moving images.

However, it does not involve radiation in the process. However, when undergoing this examination, the patient will hear a variety of sounds that are quite noisy and disturbing. Usually, special dyes will also be used so that images of the heart and arteries are seen more clearly.

CT scan

The procedure also uses X-ray machines and computers to produce three-dimensional images of the patient's heart. Similar to MRI, CT scans usually use a special dye that is inserted into the body through veins, so that the arteries of the heart can be seen more clearly.

This heart check method can also be done to ascertain the amount of calcium contained in the arteries of the heart. The presence of calcium in the heart arteries indicates the presence of coronary heart disease.

Stress test

This type of test is done to monitor the patient's heart while walking on a treadmill or pedaling on a stationary bike. When doing either of these two activities, we will look at the patient's breathing and blood pressure.

This test is done to detect the presence of coronary heart disease or to determine the level of safety of exercise choices that patients want to do after having a heart attack or heart surgery.

"So, now it's up to the family, we as Doctors only suggest the best for patients," said Mr. Doctor after explaining at length each of the benefits of the test that must be done.

"Please do your best for My Papa Doc! Do an intensive examination, as well as for other possible diseases. Whatever the cost we will try, as long as papa can be cured," said Sultan.

"Alright then, we will do our best for Mr. Hendrawan. We just pray the same Deck, hopefully no other disease that leads to a heart attack that occurs to your father," said the doctor again.

"Thank you Doc, then I'm sorry to take care of the administration needed," said Sultan.

The Sultan came out of the doctor's room, and he went to the patient service to take care of everything. He wants the Papa to get the best service in this hospital, both medical services and room service.

Money was not a problem for the Sultan and his family, because the assets owned by Papa Hendrawan will not run out for the lives of posterity, seven descendants.

Mama who saw the Sultan immediately after him, he was curious, what exactly the Doctor told the Sultan.

"Tan, wait! Where you going? What has the doctor told you about Papa's condition?"

"After Ma, I go to the administration first, I will explain after completing everything" said Sultan.

Mama turned around and sat back down with Mutia. While the King followed the Brother.

When the Sultan signed all the necessary papers, the King asked, "Actually, what is the condition of Papa Kak?"

"There is no accurate examination results Ja, is currently still an early diagnosis, papa has a heart attack. I've asked the doctor to do a more intensive examination. To be more clear, what are the diseases suffered by Papa," said Sultan while sighing.

The Sultan was often against his Papa's decision, but in this situation he felt sad, the Sultan did not want bad things to happen to the Papa.

After clearing the administration, the Sultan rejoined the others and explained everything the Doctor had talked about.
