which cardiovascular-related test is next?

You want to a do a stress echocardiogram which is a specialized version of a stress test - it can be done either chemically or on a treadmill.  The echocardiogram would give you information about the contractility of the heart muscle, both at rest and with stress; and the valvular function as well as pulmonary pressures which all could be implicated in the symptoms described.  You did not mention the age of the patient in your case, so I wouldn't further hazard a guess on the etiology of the symptoms.

The minute a patient has a heart attack, I start ordering five drugs:  aspirin, plavix, an acei inhibitor, a beta blocker, and a statin.  Pretty standard stuff.  Pretty expensive, unfortunately.

psst: (come closer) Try MEDICAL TRANSCRIPTIONIST.....think you'll be pleased at the results.

Let the doctor know.  I means you get another test. This happens frequently.

Chromotropic acid method. Although the atricle deals with textile testing, it may as well work with foods.\n\nhttp://www.ijdvl.com/article.asp?issn=0378-6323;year=2004;volume=70;issue=6;spage=342;epage=344;aulast=Rao

This is a ridiculous question that makes me think you have not even tried.  The problem is not being able to find anything rather how to fit so much information on one page.  Check out this link from the Mayo Clinic.  It is very good at even defining what you mean by "heart disease."  Good luck.\n\nhttp://www.mayoclinic.com/health/cardiovascular-disease/HB00032

OK... time to make some clarifications. A 64-slice CT scanner is sometimes used as an alternative to more invasive coronary angiography. The fact that your CT scan showed two areas of blockage means you should probably undergo a coronary angiogram to verify these findings and to treat the disease if it is there. You should definitely start taking an aspirin, as this has been shown in studies to reduce the risk of heart attack in patients with known coronary disease. In addition, there are a handful of other drugs that have been shown in very large, well designed scientific trials to reduce your risk of heart attack, heart failure, and death. These include a beta-blocker (one kind of blood pressure medicine), an ACE-inhibitor (another blood pressure medicine), and a cholesterol-lowering drug in the "statin" class. Several alternative treatments have been tried and pushed in the past including chelation therapy, but the truth is that none of these have been shown to reverse coronary artery blockages. In fact, none of the drugs mentioned above have been shown to reliable reverse coronary blockages either. BUT you don't necessarily need these blockages to shrink for the medications to provide a benefit.\n\nNow, I have to say that IT ISN'T TRUE THAT YOUR 90% BLOCKAGE COULD KILL YOU AT ANY MOMENT. Sure, it's POSSIBLE that you could drop dead tomorrow, but that 90% blockage probably grew gradually over the course of a few years so it is unlikely to suddenly close off at any moment. Don't panic! On the other hand, it will probably continue to progress to 95%... 97%... 99%... and eventually lead to such significant blockage that some of your heart muscle will fail to get enough blood flow, even when you are at rest. This can lead to something called a non-ST elevation MI - a heart attack. The more upstream that blockage is, the more heart muscle it supplies and the more life-threatening that heart attack can be.\n\nWith the newer technologies at our disposal, most significant blockages in the coronary arteries can be opened during the angiogram with a small, drug-eluting stent. These have a very good tendency to stay open over many years, thus avoiding the need for surgery in most patients. However, depending on the location of the blockage, some patients may still do better with surgery.\n\nI strongly urge you to see your doctor and get the coronary angiography done. It is not something that you have to do in the next day or two, but it should definitely be taken care of in the next couple of weeks. Believe me, if there were natural medicines that are effective for treating coronary disease, your insurance company would force you to take those before it agreed to shell out $15,000 for a stent.

You could contact someone at Prince Sultan Cardiac Center in Riyadh,speak to someone in Adult Cardiology (assuming you want to specialize in adult cardiology), they may have details of hospitals in Germany. \nAnd check also Heart Rhythm Society webpage below.\nContact me if I can help with any further details.

Sonogram. Ask your doctor about it.

Well that depends on the cause of the heart murmurs.  An ultrasound of the heart is usually the next step.  Murmurs can be completely normal in some people.  It could also indicate a leaky or misfunctioning heart valve, a small hole between chambers of the heart, or a dilated aorta or pulmonary artery.  If a cause is found, then you can find out what treatments are available.  But the cause needs to be identified first.  Chest X-rays and EKG's are often ordered, but an ultrasound (or echocardiogram) will be the test that definitively tells you the cause.

I don't know what the "next" one is, but something that should be on every prognosticators short list is nanotechnology.  Some of the stuff they are doing there is simply amazing.\n\nPowershares has an index and you can trade PXN to buy a basket of the major players.\n\nThey may not be next, but they will be soon.

With a routine blood test doctor checking:\n\n1.CBC (Complete blood count)\nThis is a routine test to determine the number of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets in your blood.   Hematocrit and hemoglobin\n2.Coagulation tests\nPT (Prothrombin time)\nPTT (Partial thromboplastin time)\nINR (International normalized ratio)\nThese tests measure how quickly your blood clots. \n3.Blood chemistry tests\nThese tests measure the levels of normal chemical substances in your blood.  \n4.Blood lipid tests\nCholesterol, total lipids, HDL, and LDL\nElevated cholesterol (particularly "bad" cholesterol, or LDL) is a risk factor for heart disease and stroke.\nThat's in brief
