Have you ever had an echocardiogram? What did you think of it?
I thought I was scheduled for an EKG (electrocardiogram). I learned after I went in it was an echocardiogram which is a sonogram of your heart. So my heart actually starred in its first video! It was so cool! It even had a light show with red and blue colors in it! All it needs is a music soundtrack.

Yes, I had an echo-cardiogram several years ago, and I thought it was quick and painless. The results were great, which put me at ease.

Yes, twice, after two occasions of atrial fibrillation. I thought it was reassuring that no trace of heart disease was found.

This is an older question. It was cool the first time, now that I have to have them regularly, I don't like them. They press too hard with the wand and it hurts.

EKG is an electrocardiogram and they print out a strip of your heartbeat. An echocardiogram is an ultrasound with a video monitor and it takes longer.
