12Other Techniques
In addition to these diagnostic methods, your doctor might take other tests to check for the functions of your heart. For instance, an X-ray is necessary to examine your heart’s size and check for any problems or blocks in your lungs. A MUGA test can also be taken to assess an ejection fraction, a more precise way to determine diastolic heart failure. The ECG or electrocardiogram can record electrical activities of the heart and help find out some damages or rhythm issues. Some other techniques include an echocardiogram, CT scan, MRI, myocardial biopsy, and EGK. [12]
