We diagnose heart attack based on clinical symptoms and an electrocardiogram and elevated cardiac biomarkers. An echocardiogram is also helpful to diagnose heart attack. A patient presenting with typical symptoms suggestive of myocardial ischemia more than 15 to 20 minutes associated with ECG changes like ST segment elevation is suggestive of myocardial infarction. However the diagnosis is confirmed by elevated cardiac biomarkers such as troponin. An echocardiogram is also helpful to see voluminous abnormalities in patients with heart attack.
