[QUOTE="Tiapet, post: 127675, member: 455"] Jo you will be fine! Trust me. This is one test that is painless and if you have the right person doing it you might enjoy watching as well. For this test they hook up electrodes (sticky patches with wires that attach to them) to you in different places (like in your chest areas and rib areas and a couple other areas - depends on who is doing it as I've had people hook them up in other places like the legs like they are doing an ekg too). They what they will do is an ultrasound of your heart while you lay on your left side (usually). Painless, simple and pretty quick. Now if you have the right person doing it they may angle the ultrasound unit display so you can see the pictures once they have you come back over to your back and take a few more. You will get to see your heart in action. They have you hold your breath here and there too. They will highlight the blood flow (which shows in blue and red for how the blood flow is functioning).
