Cardiologist Exam

Tomorrow I go for my three year checkup. They will do a EKG and probably a echo. Does anybody else have checkups like i do?

Yes, every year until I undergo a kidney transplant, then every five years. Prior to surgery, I will need to undergo a cardiac cath.

I had an echo done back in March. My doctor has one done every couple of years as a routine matter.

I've never had an ekg or an echo done at a regular checkup, just when I was in the ER (ekg, not echo).

Since I have had heart troubles in the past, I go every year for a check-up. The do an EKG every year ans a Stress test every two years. Just went last week for my yearly and due next year for another stress test.

I've never had symptoms with my MVP, so I don't really have to get it checked. I've had two echos and an EKG done though.

My mother had a simple checkup by a cardiologist.after the initial check he told her to undo her blouse because he wants to examine her in her bra.first he placed his stethoscope over her bra and listened to her heart.he lifted her breast to examine lower regions of heart.after that he told her to turn back and examined her back with the stethoscope and instructed her to take some deep breathes.then he used stethoscope over the bra while instructing her to breathe hard.after that her check up was over and he told their is nothing to worry which is always happy.

I have an EKG done during every yearly physical. An EKG is my favorite part of an exam and I let it be known from the start that I want one. My current internal medicine doctor usually does the EKG himself. I like this much better than having the nurse perform the procedure. I have had two echo cardiograms before as well at times when I experienced a rapid heartbeat.

Sadly not. I very rarely visit the doctors.

If i had the equipment i would probably do an ekg for all my play exam patients. sadly it its currently not a reality

Only Ekg the Echo is more specific. Usually is not prescribed

I went to my Cardiologist this past July for an Ekg and Echo and also a chemical stress test. For the chemical test, I had to drink this barium stuff early in the morning. At the appointment they injected me with radioactive iodes. Then I went to the scanner machine.Nothing too exciting. I couldn't fly in a commercial airline for 3 days because the radioactive iodes would set off the airport security alarms.

I have every year an ECG. Echo only was made one time, this was two years ago.

I get an EKG every year (yes my heart has problems) I also get an Echo every other year to check valves and the size of my heart. I normally have a heart rate around 70 but every time I get an echo it is at a steady 90bpm. I really enjoy getting both exams.
