Blood Tests Center

Many blood tests can diagnose and monitor heart conditions. The most common are the cholesterol test and tests to determine the blood's ability to clot (coagulation tests, platelet aggregation and INR). Arterial blood gases, sedimentation rates and CBC tests can assess general body functions. Other tests include electrolyte panels, waste product tests and enzyme tests.
