In many heart patients, mostly adults, the heart disease or discomfort related to the heart won’t begin suddenly in a day. A detailed study about the history of any chest discomfort or heart disease experienced by the patient in the past can provide additional information about the underlying disease for the cardiologist. The history recording procedure investigates whether the patient has suffered any heart attack or coronary artery diseases, whether they have undergone any heart surgery in the past, their medication history, etc. The cardiologist will also ask when an incident happened, how it was diagnosed, about the patient’s lifestyle after that incident, etc. Furthermore, the history recording procedure will inquire into whether the patient was healthy during their childhood, whether they were very active and took part in soft or vigorous sports activities, etc.
