| | In cardiovascular disease, taking a medical history, interview, and physical examination remain the most important parts of patient assessment.(3) While there are many technologically advanced tests available, they are only effective when used with a complete medical history and physical examination. | | | A medical history enables the examiner to establish a relationship with the patient, develop an awareness of how the patient feels about the problems and their quality of life, as well as an evaluation of the problem’s severity.(4) Particular attention should be paid to the family history. | | | Thus, a history of chest pain or discomfort only during activity is characteristic of heart disease. |
