Heart attack
A heart attack is when the blood supply to the heart gets blocked, causing damage to the muscle.
Tests to further investigate concerns
CT scan
A heart CT scan uses many X-rays from different angles to build images of your heart using a scanner and computer. This can help us see problems with the structures of the heart and issues with valves, arteries, and more.
Heart MRI scan
We can use MRI scans to see a detailed picture of your heart and blood vessels without needing invasive processes.
Stress tests
This test involves monitoring your heart rate whilst you are exercising – either on a treadmill or an exercise bike. This can help us detect any abnormalities while you are overexerting your heart.
