How is angina diagnosed?

Unstable angina is an emergency. You should call 911 if you think you’re having a heart attack.

Report any other type of chest pain to your healthcare provider. After performing a physical exam, your provider may order one or more of these tests to find the cause of angina:

  • Complete blood count (CBC).
  • Chest X-rays.
  • Cardiac stress test.
  • Echocardiogram.
  • Electrocardiogram (EKG).
  • Coronary angiography and cardiac catheterization.
  • Coronary computed tomography angiogram (CTA).
