Can an ecg(electrocardiogram) detect angina?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A resting EKG only can detect angina which is due to restricted coronary artery blood flow only if you're hooked up to the EKG when the angina occurs. Otherwise a treadmill stress test would have to be performed to provoke the angina symptoms.

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?
