Could doing smoking be recognised from a heart test?

Heart tests: You can speculate from many cardiac tests that a patient may be a smoker. Hearing lung findings during an exercise or rest phase of a test can suggest this also.

If you are : Talking about cigarets smoking the only possible test is co(carbon monoxide)levels on the arterial blood sample. It will be high. The stress test, echo, and cardiac cath will show the results of coronary artery disease by smoking.
