How does a doctor diagnose
- Obtain patient history and perform physical exam
- Order electrocardiogram (ECG) to measure heart rate and rhythm
- Order echocardiogram to check heart structure and function
- Order stress test to measure how the heart responds to physical activity
- Order Holter monitor to measure heart rate and rhythm over a 24-hour period
- Order blood tests to check for underlying medical conditions
- Order imaging tests such as X-ray, CT scan, or MRI to check for structural abnormalities
