How can you find out if you have clogged arteries?what tests are held?

Clogged arteries: It depends on what you are referring to. But in general, you can see arteries' clots and obstruction with what is called arteriography. A dye is injected into a specific area where there are arteries located and with pictures you may take a close look at those. There are other tests that can be used to evaluate for this, but with this one you may take a good look at the arteries internal space.
