Can I eat or drink on the day of the test? Yes. However, DO NOT eat or drink anything except water for four hours before the test. Avoid caffeinated products (cola, Mountain Dew®, chocolate products, coffee, and tea) for 24 hours before the test, as caffeine will interfere with the results of the test.
How does caffeine affect echocardiogram?
An echocardiogram was also performed before and 60 and 120 min after caffeine intake. Both regular coffee and caffeine produced a significant decrease in resting flow and a significant increase in resistance; both systolic and diastolic BP also increased, although not significantly.
What should you avoid before echocardiogram?
Don't eat or drink anything but water for 4 hours before the test. Don't drink or eat anything with caffeine (such as cola, chocolate, coffee, tea, or medications) for 24 hours before. Don't smoke the day of the test. Caffeine and nicotine might affect the results.
