A member asked:
Is it better to have my echo done at the cardiologist? or at an imaging center and then read to me by my pcp? was told cardio would be more thorough.

Echocardiograms: are best performed under the supervision of a cardiologist so that any questionable findings can be fully explored and answered at the same visit.

Cardiologist: it is best read by a cardiologist who spends 3 years learning how to read them.
