What are some signs of coronary heart disease?

Consultant cardiologist Ahmed Elgahamaz shares information about coronary heart disease signs

What we find out as clinicians are the signs which are often related to the results of some tests we run to try and investigate and diagnose whether there is really underlying coronary artery disease or not. These vary from a simple ECG, which is an electrical recording of the heartbeat, to other more sophisticated tests in order to understand if the symptoms correlate with signs of cardiac disease or not.

I strongly urge you to take our heart disease online self-test to assess your risk of developing heart disease in the future. It will take you less than five minutes and will give you a good idea if you are at increased risk and whether or not you need to see a specialist.
