A member asked:
Would an ekg and chets x ray show a blockage?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No. An EKG gives a picture of the electrical forces coursing through the heart. If normal, you can still have blockage that does not trigger changes in that test. A Chest x-ray offers even less information about the heart, giving a relative size and position while the lung study gives a sense of normal flow outside the heart.
