Abstract
Cardiovascular health is crucial for overall well-being, and accurate diagnosis plays a key role in the management and treatment of cardiovascular conditions. This paper reviews a range of diagnostic tests recommended by physicians to evaluate cardiovascular health. These tests include blood tests to assess cholesterol, glucose, protein, and lipid levels; electrocardiogram (ECG) to monitor the heart’s electrical activity; stress testing to evaluate the heart’s performance under stress; chest X-ray to visualize the heart and lungs; Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI) to detect peripheral artery disease; echocardiography to assess the heart’s size, shape, and function; computed tomography (CT) to identify structural abnormalities and coronary artery disease; and angiography to visualize blood flow and detect arterial blockages. Each diagnostic modality provides valuable insights that contribute to a comprehensive understanding of cardiovascular health and guide effective treatment strategies.
