Preparation: Generally, no special preparation is needed. You might be asked to wear a hospital gown for the procedure.

Duration: The test typically takes about 30 to 60 minutes.
After the test, you can resume your normal activities immediately. The results will help your healthcare provider understand your heart health better, addressing symptoms such as palpitations, dizziness, and chest pain. This test empowers you to take proactive steps in managing your heart health.
