What preparation is needed before a 2D Echo and Stress ECG (TMT)?
I have an appointment scheduled this Friday for a 2D Echocardiography and TMT test. Do I need to fast overnight, and can I take my morning blood pressure medications?

Dr. Subhashish MukherjeeDoctor · Cardiologist22 May 2026For 2D Echo, no fasting is needed. For TMT, eat a light snack 2 hours prior (avoid heavy oily meals). Wear comfortable walking shoes or sports sneakers. Please check with our reception or your doctor whether to take beta-blocker medications on the morning of the TMT.
