Do You Have Heart Disease?

Angeograms can reveal blockages in the heart arteries, but they aren't perfect. Doctors often treat chest pain as cardiac until proven otherwise. The first thing to really separate when one thinks about chest pain is whether or not this is sort of that stable type of chest pain that's happening with exertion. And then secondarily, we're often sending those patients for what we call a test for functional eschemia - basically a stress test.
