No pain: It doesn't hurt. There's no prep. There's no radiation. It takes about 20 minutes.

Easy to do!: I spend my day reading echos! This ultrasound technology involves placing gel on your chest and abdomen and imaging your heart. It is a comprehensive exam, meaning there will be many images taken of your heart and surrounding heart related structures, and many measurements taken of these structures. Takes about 25-40 minutes to complete, and involves minimal discomfort as device pushes against you
