which tests recommended for hert disease
No matter what type of heart disease you have, your doctor will likely perform a physical exam and ask about your personal and family medical history before doing any tests. Besides blood tests and a chest X-ray, tests to diagnose heart disease can include:1  Electrocardiogram (ECG). 2  An ECG records these electrical signals and can help your doctor detect irregularities in your heart's rhythm and structure. This test is often used to check for heart problems. 2  In a cardiac CT scan, you lie on a table inside a doughnut-shaped machine. 3  An X-ray tube inside the machine rotates around your body and collects images of your heart and chest. 4  Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
