Hello, if you have cardiovascular (coronary) artery blockage, common symptoms include angina pectoris (chest pain), chest tightness, shortness of breath, discomfort in the precordial region, and arrhythmias. If you experience any of these symptoms, it is essential to seek prompt medical evaluation at a hospital. Recommended diagnostic tests include electrocardiogram (ECG), cardiac enzyme assays, and Holter monitoring (ambulatory ECG). In some cases, coronary angiography may also be necessary to assess the extent and location of arterial narrowing. Based on the findings, appropriate treatment strategies can then be initiated. I hope this information is helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
