If you are experiencing symptoms suggestive of heart disease
Cardiac disease is often manifested via benign-sounding symptoms such as mild exertional chest pains/tightness, shortness of breath on exertion and palpitations. Occasionally, symptoms can be more dramatic, such as an unexplained collapse or significant dizziness. These symptoms will not always represent a heart condition, but they could be of particularly concern if your individual risk profile is high, for example if you have diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure or a family history of heart disease.
Depending on your symptoms and medical history, specific tests will be needed to rule out a cardiac problem.

Do you know what the chances are that you might suffer a cardiovascular event (heart attack, stroke, etc) within the next 10 years? This chance represents your individual cardiovascular risk, and it can be estimated based on a series of questions and some simple diagnostic tests.
