An Echocardiogram can be performed in various ways. TEE (Trasnesophogeal) is a methos where a scope is gently eased down your throat into your chest cavity with the help of anesthetics and sedatives, Stress Echo is a procedure where pictures are taken of your heart before you run on a treadmill or bike and pictures are taken immediately afterwards when your blood rate is elevated(In cases where patients are unable to excersice medications are used to speed up the heart rate. The most common is the Transthoracic procedure where we place gel on your chest and use a transducer to view your heart in different views. I hoped this helped. Methods for an Echocardiogram are relativly not painful.
Good Luck
