One of the most common serious afflictions in modern society is heart disease. This
general label encompasses many different abnormal conditions, including congenital
heart defects (many of which can be repaired surgically), diseases of the pericardium
(the tissue surrounding the heart muscle), and diseases affecting the heart muscle
itself (the myocardium). Physicians can often detect or predict heart problems by
measuring the rate of heartbeat (called pulse) and by taking patient's blood pressure.
Another important diagnostic tool is the electrokardiogram (EKG), a record of the
electrical activity of the heart, which can reveal abnormal cardiac rhythm and
myocardial damage. When heart disease is suspected and more detailed information is
needed, an angiogram is ordered. This series of X-ray films (taken after the injection
of a radiopaque substance) defines the size and shape of various veins and arteries.
