[QUOTE="Enclave, post: 1363210, member: 92754"] Just to clarify here on the different procedures that I have had to look at my heart ::: [B]Scan[/B] This is where the gel is placed on your chest and a hand held scanner is rubbed over your heart area while the operator is watching a screen showing your heart movements. (this I found shocking .. as the gel was cold .. don't like the cold LOL) [B]ECG[/B] This is where electrodes are placed on your skin and "listens" to your heart beats giving a paper or elelectonic read out of what its hearing (this I found fun, being a hairy man the electrodes keep falling off .. so had a mini shave much to the amusement of the nurse) [B]Angiogram[/B] During a coronary angiogram, a type of dye that's visible by an X-ray machine is injected into the blood vessels of your heart. The X-ray machine rapidly takes a series of images (angiograms), offering a look at your blood vessels. If necessary, your doctor can open clogged heart arteries (angioplasty) during your coronary angiogram. (this I found uncomfortable, but not painful) [/QUOTE]
