Before the procedure, patients should have an electrocardiogram (ECG) and echocardiogram (ultrasound of the heart) to check the heart’s rhythm and function. Some patients need computed tomography or transoesophageal echocardiography to exclude the presence of a blood clot in the heart.

However, an echocardiogram is a different test, also conducted for heart activity. An electrocardiogram is a machine used to record the heart's electrical activity. Electrocardiogram, echocardiogram, and some other tests are done for patients with cardiac arrest. ECG and EKG refer to the same thing.
