Your cardiologists may suggest the following tests to diagnose or monitor blocked arteries.
Electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG): Measure the electrical activity of the heart.
Echocardiogram: Create images of the heart and heart valves
Exercise stress test: ECG will be taken while the patient performs exercise.
Nuclear stress test: Show how blood moves to the heart muscle at rest and during stress.
Heart (cardiac) CT scan: Detects calcium deposits and blockages in the heart arteries
Cardiac catheterization and angiogram: Identify blockages and allow for treatment with a balloon to open the artery and a mesh tube (stent) to keep it open.
