Overview
A breathlessness assessment is a comprehensive diagnostic evaluation designed to identify the cause of shortness of breath or breathing difficulties. This systematic approach involves detailed medical history taking, physical examination, and appropriate diagnostic tests to determine whether your breathlessness stems from heart conditions, lung problems, or other medical causes.
The assessment helps distinguish between different potential causes of breathlessness, including cardiovascular conditions such as heart failure, coronary artery disease, or valve problems, as well as respiratory, metabolic, or other systemic conditions. This thorough evaluation forms the foundation for developing an appropriate treatment plan.
