What is the most accurate and best test for atherosclerosis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A blood test for sugar and cholesterol. A C- REACTIVE protein[CRP] test are very accurate. An ECG or an EKG test are also done. Angiography is also an excellent test but has risks. A chest x-ray can also be done. Check with your doctor or cardiologist.
