The test that you need, to diagnose your heart condition, depends on your doctor’s opinion. Whatever type of heart disease you have, your doctor will most likely do a physical exam and ask about your personal and family health history before conducting the test.  

In addition to blood tests and chest X-rays, tests to diagnose heart disease can include: 

  • Electrocardiogram (ECG) 

  • Holter monitoring 

  • Echocardiography 

  • Stress test 

  • Cardiac catheterization 

  • Cardiac computerized tomography (CT) scan 

  • Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) 

There are several risk factors that you cannot do anything about (non-modifiable). This includes: 

  • Being male 

  • Being a woman who is past menopause 

  • Being older 

  • Having a family history of heart diseases. 

Other risk factors exist that you can control (modifiable). These include: 

  • Smoking 

  • High cholesterol 

  • High blood pressure 

  • Lack of exercise 

  • Obesity 

  • Diabetes 

  • Unhealthy diet 

  • Stress 

By improving your habits, you can reduce your risk of heart attack or angina.
