Diagnosis of Heart Disease in General Practice

Abstract

Flavia Danielle

Heart disease is diagnosed using a variety of tests. Your doctor will begin by gathering information about your personal and family medical histories, noting current and previous symptoms, and ordering laboratory tests and an electrocardiogram. Your doctor may request additional tests based on the results of the assessment and tests. Some of these tests are non-invasive, which means they don't require the insertion of any tools into the body. Other tests are more intrusive, requiring the insertion of tools into the patient's body.
