What is it like to have an echo-cardiogram and an ekg?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Echo/ecg: Both studies are performed with the patient lying on a table. The echo has ecg leads attached to the patient and the echo images are obtained by a probe moved around the chest by a technician. Neither test is uncomfortable or painful.
