Non-invasive methods include ECG, Echocardiogram, Exercise tolerance test and Holter monitoring of the heart where as invasive techniques include angiography and procedures to dilate and stent the coronary (heart) vessels. In cases of irregular heart beat, sometimes a pacemaker is inserted which regulates the heart rate.
