Summary

Non-invasive diagnostic tests (Table 3.1) are undertaken to support the clinical impression of and to quantify the extent of cardiac disease. Repeating the investigations over time allows for monitoring of management protocols and follow-up on disease progression. Information may be supplemented with advanced and invasive investigations (e.g. angiography in suspected coronary artery disease (CAD)).
