Questions to ask before a heart test or procedure

Ask your doctor or other health care professional:

  • How will I benefit by having this test or procedure?
  • What if I don't have it?
  • What are the risks if I have this test or procedure?
  • What are my alternatives?

If the person you ask doesn't know the answer, ask him or her to tell you who does.
