CT scan images provide more-detailed information than plain X-rays do. 5. ECHOCARDIOGRAM - An echocardiogram uses sound waves to produce images of your heart. 6. HEART BYPASS SURGERY - Coronary artery bypass surgery creates a new path for blood to flow around a blocked or partially blocked artery in the heart. 7.

ULTRASOUND - Diagnostic ultrasound, also called sonography or diagnostic medical sonography, is an imaging method that uses sound waves to produce images of structures within your body. The images can provide valuable information for diagnosing and directing treatment for a variety of diseases and conditions. 18.
