Post-Exam Instructions
Post-Exam Instructions
After your cardiac examination, it is important to follow the appropriate steps to ensure accurate results and proper follow-up. Please review the instructions below:
In most cases, a referral is recommended, but not always required. Please check with our clinic or your insurance provider for specific requirements.
A standard consultation lasts about 20 to 30 minutes. If additional tests are needed (ECG, echocardiogram, stress test), the visit may take longer.
You should consult a cardiologist if you experience chest pain, shortness of breath, palpitations, dizziness, swelling in the legs, or if you have a family history of heart disease.
Depending on your condition, the doctor may request an ECG, echocardiogram, Holter monitor, stress test, or blood tests.
For most tests, eating and drinking normally is fine. However, for stress tests, you may be asked to avoid eating heavy meals or caffeine before the exam. Our team will give you specific instructions.
Coverage depends on your insurance plan. Please bring your insurance card and confirm with your provider if necessary.
Some results, such as ECGs, are available immediately. Others, like Holter monitoring or detailed echocardiography reports, may take 24–72 hours.
Yes, for most tests. However, after certain stress tests, you may be advised to rest for a short time before driving.
Please bring your ID, insurance card, medical records, list of medications, and any recent test results.
You can contact our clinic by phone, through our website, or via the online appointment system. Please notify us at least 24 hours in advance if you need to reschedule.

Après un électrocardiogramme et une échocardiographie, j’ai enfin compris la cause de mes palpitations. Le médecin a clairement expliqué les résultats et m’a donné d’excellents conseils de prévention. Un grand merci à toute l’équipe !
