I can tell you how I got diagnosed with heart disease. After working among smokers for about 25 years in and out of doors and breathing all that ETS my liver's ALT numbers got slightly elevated so I couldn't donate blood anymore. Then I could not walk for 5 minutes without a chest pain because I got clogged coronary arteries. I had a angiogram and angeoplasty procedure to correct the problem. My cardiologist diagnosed my condition - second hand tobacco smoke also known as environmental tobacco smoke is the cause of my heart disease and clogged arteries.

In my case, I passed out while driving to work. Crashed into a telephone pole and had a paramedic thump my chest twice. Come to find out I had a blockage of the LAD. 100% no less. I would not recommend this diagnosis it would have been a lot easier to go to a cardiologist.
