Electrocardiogram, complete blood count, testing for occult blood, comprehensive serum metabolic panel.

An Electrocardiogram or ECG is a test used to measure the electrical activity of the human heart only to identify whether it is working properly or not.

Complete Blood Count or CBC is simply a blood test that measures the components of your blood including RBCs, WBCs, platelets.

The fecal occult blood test or FOBT is a test used to check the presence of microscopic blood present in the stool.

A comprehensive serum metabolic panel or simply a comprehensive metabolic panel (CMP) is a blood test that simply tests blood sugar levels, kidney, and liver function.
