About Heart Tests
Sometimes hearts have problems and don't work how they are supposed to. When your doctor finds out that your heart is not working how it should, she will want to use special machines to run some tests. These tests will help the doctor know how to fix the problem.
It might seem scary if you have never seen the machines or the people who work them. It also might seem scary if you don't know what the machines do. But you know what? They really aren't so bad.
If you click on the links below, you can learn about what each test is like. You can even see pictures of them.
If you get worried, just remember: The whole reason you are having the test is to find out how to make you better! Right?
