Okay, I'm having an electrocardiogram sometime soon and I was just wondering if you are allowed to keep at least your bra on if you are a girl?
Just wondering because if I'm not I don't want to be too shocked when I find out at the hosptial...
Also, how long does it take?
Please answer! and Thanks!

I don't know the answer to the first question, being male.
But the answer to the question about how long it takes is roughly 10 minutes, 9 of which are used installing and removing the sensors on your chest and getting the leads to the sensors installed and removed.

I did not get to keep my Bra on for the Echo. I have had an Echo Twice (one was a Bubble) both times removed my bra for the test.
They do try to keep you a Little Covered With the Gown While Moving the Wand over your Chest.
My Tests were longer then 10 minutes. They were both about 30 minutes.

Okay, at least they try to keep you a bit covered.

I just had an echocardiogram and I can guarantee you that you get to remove everything above the waist for that test and it takes 30 - 45 minutes.
But I understood that you were talking about an EKG.

Oops- Sorry I thought you had said a Echocardiagram.
My Ekgs that I have had- Some have you remove your bra...others dont care.
And yes, they are only about 10 minutes long.
