What exactly is a complete blood test?

Question

can a doctor tell if you have heart disease when he gives you a complete blood test?What can a complete blood test tell about your body?

Answer 1

A CBC or complete blood test will measure the following:

WBC

RBC

Hemoglobin

Hematocrit

MCV

MCH

MCHC

RDW

Platlets

Neutrophils

Lymphs

Monocytes

Eos (ABSOLUTE)

Baso (ABSOLUTE)

They all have to do with the cells within the blood, each of them could indicate an abnormality or condition but I don't think a CBC would definitively show heart disease.

The tests to detect heart disease would be a EKG (ecg), Angiogram, stress test, MRI, cat scans and probably many more.

Answer 2

I think no absolute....cause complete blood test just common test, to know the composition of your blood, need more spesific test to know someone have heart disease.
