The test is non-invasive and is interpreted in the context of your symptoms, examination and other investigations.
Preparation & what to expect
Most standard transthoracic ECHO examinations do not require fasting. Wear comfortable clothing and bring previous cardiac reports, ECGs and prescriptions if available. Confirm any special instructions when booking.
