Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for choosing HealthcareMagic for your query,
I would suggest you some of the baseline tests of cardiology to rule out Coronary artery disease-
Stress test-Any ischemia to cardiac muscles will be reflected in stress test.An exercise stress test usually involves walking on a treadmill or riding a stationary bike while your heart rhythm, blood pressure and breathing are monitored.Any significant ischemia to heart muscles would be reflected in form of ST-T changes.
2d echo-Heart wall and valves motion can be seen.Any compromised blood supply will be reflected in form of regional wall motion abnormality.
Stess test and echo combined together are almost 855 sensitive to rule out coronary artery disease.
However in case you want to be Dead sure,best non invasive test is Stress thallium with sensitivity of almost about 98%-A thallium stress test is a nuclear imaging test that shows how well blood flows into the heart while you're exercising or at rest.
Other tests adviced are
Fasting lipid profile
Fasting and post prandial blood sugar
Blood pressure recordings.
Thanks and follow up with reports.
