Diagnosis Of Ischemia
For diagnosing ischaemic heart disease the doctors perform a series of tests depending whether the disease is with angina (symptomatic) or without-silent ischemia.
Angina attacks associated with risk factors for heart disease influence the doctor to diagnose a blockage in the coronary arteries very quickly. On the contrary, the diagnosis of silent ischemia is more difficult to establish. For people with silent ischemia who don’t show any obvious symptoms, if they are men with age over 40 years or women over 50, or if they have jobs related to public safety it is recommended they should start an adequate exercise program.
