oldcarguy Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simoh1490 Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 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.
