For early detection of heart disease, heart tests are usually done bearing exercises such as treadmill tests. This test was recommended only to those who are believed to be safe doing it. Another test is a procedure for checking heart electrocardiogram (ECG), cardiac structure and function evaluations with echocardiografi doppler, and others.
