This test requires sticky electrodes to be applied to your chest and legs to take a recording of the electrical activity of your heart and its beats and rhythm. The doctor will report and discuss the results at the time of your visit. The doctor will report your test and donate you your results at your next visit or send them to your GP the after day. This test is a noninvasive way of looking at the heart with ultrasound using a probe on the chest. Ultrasound allows flawless measurements of the four chambers of the heart and valves and the flow of blood through the valves and major blood vessels to and from the heart. ECG dots are placed on the chest and a probe with gel is impaired on the chest to diminish ultrasound images and to observe the blood flow through the valves and the contractibility of the heart. Evaluate the heart following a heart attack, scenting or cardiac surgery. Consecutive ECG and blood pressure recordings are taken throughout the procedure. Take your conventional medications unless instructed otherwise by the doctor if you are a diabetic you need to discuss this with the doctor. This test is performed in hospital by your doctor and is another form of stress echo cardiogram.

Bring all your medications to hospital the doctor will donate you advise about your blood thinners if you are taking any.
