No. A sticky plate will be attached to different parts of your body during the test. They are not painful at all.
I for example had the procedure which is included in the routine blood test. Together with lipid profile, the doctor can evaluate and see if I am at risk of a heart disease.

Only the medical staff and doctor will provide readings for the procedure. A normal reading will be indicated in the results if there are no suspicious activities of your heart. A patient may need other heart tests depending on the test results.
