What test shows blocked arteries in the heart?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
The most accurate method to detect blocked arteries remains an invasive test called cardiac angiography, which requires a catheter to be threaded into heart vessels. But the signs of blocked arteries may also be seen on an ECG.

I've been having these frequent palpitations lately, and my heart seems to be pounding harder than usual. I had an echo done a couple of months ago, and it came out normal. I just did an ECG a couple of days ago, and I've attached the results. Should I be worried about this?
The ECG you have attached shows sinus tachycardia, which means your heart is beating faster than normal. Since your echo two months back was normal, this may be due to other factors such as stress, anxiety, caffeine intake, or thyroid issues. I recommend you to take a beta-blocker like Metoprolol 25mg once daily to help control your heart rate and palpitations. It is important to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.

Heart valve issues, if left untreated, can be serious and even life-threatening. Treatment options include medication, minimally invasive procedures, and surgery, with the specific approach depending on the severity and type of valve problem. In Ahmedabad, for heart valve problems, consult with a cardiologist and consider hospitals with a strong cardiac surgery program.
