A member asked:
Will all forms of angina show up on an ekg and x-rays?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: Definitely not on an x-ray and probably not on an ekg . A transient reduction in coronary artery blood flow is not likely to show up on an ekg.

No: None of it will show up on a standard x-ray. You may need either a stress test or a stress test with imaging (nuclear medicine scan). Another non invasive option is a ct coronary angiogram. Not all places do this although it is becoming more commonplace.

What's the distinguishing symptoms of microvascular angina? Does it show up on ECG during or after chest pain episodes? If so, what to look for on ECG? Does medication treatment for MVA reduce risks for MI/stroke or merely provide symptomatic relief?
