With the question “How is coronary artery disease diagnosed? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Consider clinical symptoms, then electrocardiogram, comprehensive X-ray, blood test, CT coronary angiogram. At that time, whether the patient is undergoing medical or interventional therapy, we must take a percutaneous coronary angiogram to decide whether the patient is a coronary stent holder or not.
