What is the gold standard to diagnosis coronary hearth disease?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Coronary angiography: An angiogram during a heart cath is considered the 'gold standard', but nothing is 100% accurate. Early calcification in the arteries can be detected with a ct scan even befor plaque is visible in the arteries.
