Is it OK to have these ultrasound tests done.  I have a pacemaker.

An echocardiogram is safe with a pacemaker and this is a kind of ultrasound scan. 

Ultrasound is safe with a pacemaker as far as I know.

it would help if you fill in your bio as to model, make and your location.  As our answers are some times different  depending on  what you have and your location. 

Of course if you really  are concerned ask your doctor to be sure.

I had a pace maker implanted 3 years ago. Last Nov I went A Fib and a they did a heart ultra sound, then a stress test which encluded a heart ultra sound immediately before and after the the stress test.

No worries.

The only thing we need to be careful about is mri.
