tell Ridge the news. Where is he?
>> Steffy: Actually, I'm not sure.
Maybe he's with my mom.
>> Grace: I wanna start with a cardiac enzyme test.
>> Ridge: Okay. W-what is that? >> Grace: It's a tool used to
determine if someone's having a heart attack or if they've had
one. The test is ordered if a patient
is showing symptoms of a blockage in the heart's
arteries. >> Ridge: And what are the
symptoms--pressure or, um, chest pain?
>> Grace: Precisely. Severe stress on the heart can
damage its muscle. And if that happens, certain
enzymes are released, a kind of protein, into the blood.
And if you've had a heart attack, those enzyme levels can
be quite high. So checking those enzyme levels
are a good barometer to determine if there's something
more serious going on. And the main enzyme that I'm
going to be checking is called troponin.
It's released into the blood right after a heart attack, and
it stays at an elevated level even after the other enzymes
have returned to normal. >> Ridge: So-so this test, what
does this entail? >> Grace: It's just a simple
blood test. It's just a small vial or two,
and that's all that's needed. Then I will access the
biomarkers and confirm if you've had a heart attack...
and if so, the extent of the damage to the heart muscle.
>> Ridge: That-that's it? Just a blood test.
>> Grace: Well, if necessary, I could follow up with an
echocardiogram or an angiogram, but right now...right now,
let's just start with a cardiac enzyme test, okay?
>> Ridge: Okay. I'm sorry, how long does it take
to get the results? >> Grace: Not long at all.
[exhales] Look, Taylor, I know that all of this is very
familiar to you. You're a doctor.
But if you have any questions, if you have any doubts--

I'll be right back. >> Ridge: Thank you.

our grandchildren. I wanna be around for them
as long as possible. I wanna watch Kelly and Hayes

that life has to offer them. >> Ridge: Okay. Let's do that.
But let's-let's start with taking the test and, you know,
maybe things aren't as dire as you think.
'Cause we don't know, right? Only thing we do know is that
you are a fighter... strong.
