A member asked:
What do you suggest if i am 16 years old and a girl and getting an echocardiogram tomorrow, what are they going to do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Simple procedure: I would wear loosely fitting clothes and not stress over the procedure. They will spend most of the procedure using a hand held probe attached to a machine that inputs a video image. A gel is placed on your chest wall that enhances the contact the probe has with your chest. The probe is moved at different angles and locations over your heart to use sound waves to generate images of the heart.
