What Are Clogged Arteries?
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
8. Diagnosis
Clogged arteries are a condition that often goes unnoticed until it is too late. As such, it is recommended that people get regular check-ups to help identify any problems early on. This is especially the case in people that are over the age of 40.
Tests for clogged arteries include checking your blood pressure and cholesterol levels. You will also likely be asked about your lifestyle, and if there is a history of clogged arteries in the family. In some cases, further tests such as CT scans, chest X-rays, echocardiogram, and angiograms may be performed. You may be asked to attend regular check-ups if a condition is suspected.
