An echocardiogram can take anywhere from 30-60 minutes depending on why you are having the test. It is a painless (non-invasive) procedure. You will lay in different positions while a technician moves a wand type sensor (transducer) over your skin that sends out sound waves which are sent back and displaced on the screen they are watching (in real time) while performing the echo. They record these images, take measurements, and record blood flow (color doppler) of the chambers and valves of the heart.
