What should be included in Heart check-up ?

[oldcarguy]

Hi , I was thinking of doing a Heart check-up for my Birthday ,

I do not have any Heart problems I know about ,
blood pressure is 130 range , I do not drink or smoke....

I expect an EKG and a treadmill stress test but what else ?

How do they check for blocked arteries ?

 

I will probably do this at St Louis Hospital BKK  unless you have a better place :)

 

Thanks for your help

A treadmill stress test will give clues to any blockages, if found then an angiogram is the next step.

 

Perhaps also consider doing a Lipids Panel blood test, HDL/LDL/Triglycerides/cholesterol, useful for detecting the potential for arterial blockages.

As above -- lipid panel and stress test.
