sorry about that! gosh. the techs in my treadmill were nice, so i guess it's luck of the draw.
one of the heart tests that i thought was useful is the one where you're on the bed, laying down, and they have those sensors stuck to your skin. then they print out the baseline graph. my employer hired that vendor to do this, and we received a credit card-sized laminated card with a miniature graph of our heart. this was to establish a baseline in case another medical professional wanted to compare it with possible aberrations.
