Coronary Ischemia - Diagnosis

Diagnosis

If there is a suspicion that one may have coronary ischemia, a doctor will administer a series of tests to confirm the diagnosis.. The most common tests today are an electrocardiogram, an exercise stress test, and a coronary angiography.

He may also inquire about the duration of symptoms, how often they occur and any measures taken in attempts to relieve them.
