Other factors:

 DIAGNOSTIC TESTS
 Blood test
 Electrocardiogram (ECG)
 Holter monitoring
 Echocardiogram
 Stress test
 Cardiac catheterization
 Cardiac computerized
tomography (CT) scan
 Cardiac magnetic
resonance imaging (MRI)

 MEDICAL TREATMENT
 Medication, such as to reduce
low density lipoprotein
cholesterol, improve blood flow,
or regulate heart rhythm
 Surgery, such as coronary artery
bypass grafting or valve repair or
replacement surgery
 CANCER
- It describes the disease that
results when cellular changes
cause the uncontrolled growth
and division of cells. Some types
of cancer cause rapid cell
growth, while others cause cells
to grow and divide at a slower
rate. Certain forms of cancer
result in visible growths called
tumors, while others do not.

 ETIOLOGY
The basic cause of sporadic (non-
familial) cancers is DNA damage and
genomic instability. A minority of
cancers are due to inherited genetic
mutations. Most cancers are related
to environmental, lifestyle, or
behavioral exposures.

 SUSCEPTIBILITY
 DIAGNOSTIC TESTS
 Physical Exam
 Laboratory Tests
 Imaging Tests
 Ct scan
 Bone Scan
 Magnetic resonance
imaging (MRI),
 Positron emission
tomography (PET) scan
 Ultrasound and X-ray
 Biopsy
