How do you know which heart test you actually need?
Dr Ravi Assomull, a Private Cardiologist in London, explains how heart tests are selected based on your symptoms and medical history. In this video, he highlights the importance of a personalised, integrative cardiology approach to diagnosis.
Transcript
The heart test you actually need will be decided after discussion with you at your initial consultation.
There's no set single test that I recommend for a group of patients.
I think we need to really come up with a bespoke series of tests, and that may just be one test.
It may be a scan and a combination with other blood tests.
But the key thing is to make sure that those tests are optimised to give us a clear understanding of what underpins your symptoms and, importantly, whether those symptoms pose any risk to you.
