Heart conditions include coronary artery disease, heart failure, valve problems and rhythm disorders. Chest pain can come from the heart but also from muscles, lungs or the stomach, so it should always be checked. A cardiologist evaluates heart symptoms with an ECG, echocardiogram and other tests.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which doctor should I see for chest pain?
Sudden or severe chest pain needs emergency care. For ongoing or occasional chest discomfort, a cardiologist can find out whether it is heart-related.
Which tests check the heart?
Common tests are ECG, echocardiography (echo), treadmill test (TMT), blood tests and, when needed, CT coronary angiography or angiography.
Is every chest pain a heart attack?
No. Chest pain can also come from acidity, muscle strain or lung problems. Because heart attacks can look similar, chest pain should not be ignored.
