Angina pectoris: Angina pectoris is the fancy name for chest pain caused by the heart muscle, usually because of atherosclerotic narrowings in the coronary arteries. Angina is a clinical diagnosis; in most cases an experienced doctor would not need any tests to confirm it is present. Tests may be useful to assess the severity of the problem and to guide treatment.

Stress test: Hi! an exercise stress test is the standard test for angina. This is performed by the cardiology department, but a primary care physician can help to arrange it for you.
