Back To All Exams
Heart (Echocardiogram)
- Leads will need to be placed on your chest, so wear flexible clothing, that can be removed from the waist up.
- Sometimes your chest may need to be shaved or cleaned so the electrodes can be properly attached.
- Do not use deodorant, body powder, or lotion before the exam.
- Continue to take your medications as normal unless otherwise directed by your doctor.
- Please arrive 15 minutes early, bring your requisition (unless your physician already submitted it on your behalf), Alberta Health Care card (or out of town province health care card), and photo identification with you to your exam!
Did you know, patients who forget their requisition will likely have to defer their exam?
