A member asked:
Can a blood test tell ifu have heart problems and having cold arms doesnt mean heart failure?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Basic medicine: Lab work is far less helpful than history bland physical exam for evaluating the heart. Cold arms means basically nothing. If you are not having chest pain or syncopal attacks and can keep up physically with your peers doing physical activities, be glad for a healthy heart.
