Breast implants could stop heart attack tests from working, study finds
'Women with breast implants could be left at greater risk from heart attacks because the devices may block detection of symptoms, a study suggests. '
'Every year around 25,000 women in the UK have breast implants. '
'Researchers found that routine tests used to diagnose cardiac problems were far less reliable in women who had undergone breast enlargement surgery. '
'Electrocardiogram (ECG) tests are given to patients when they have suffered a suspected heart attack. '
'But the new study presented at a heart conference in Vienna, found that readings appeared to be far less accurate, when women had breast implants - leaving them at risk of being falsely diagnosed with a heart attack, or symptoms being missed. '
